Inspiration
by Gloria Gamat on September 13, 2007

Bernard Farrell, type 1 diabetic for 35 years is an inspiration to those suffering from type 1 diabetes. Yes, you can live a long life too.
Bernard was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on September 10, 1972. Gosh, I wasn't even born then!
Anyway, we can all learn from Bernard's wisdom. In a his recent blog entry, Bernard wrote:
Now it's 35 years later and what's to look forward to? Plenty I think.
Yesterday at my bike ride, I spoke to someone from Dr. Faustman's research lab in Boston. They're continuing to make progress on a possible cure for Type 1 diabetes. Personally (this is just me talking) I'm expecting that I won't be taking insulin by the time my 50th d-anniversary rolls around. Maybe because of Dr. Faustman's work, or because of other research that's happening around the world as I write.
And what happens if I'm wrong? Well that's OK. It won't be the first time.
God has some plan for me. He's a good guy and he's taken great care of me and my family so far. So I'll just continue to place my trust in Him, because I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.
Bernard blogs regularly at Bernard's Diabetes Blog.

Hello to everyone in the world with Type "1" diabetes. I have had it for over 52 years contracting it when I was 4 years old. I've been married for 32 years and have 6 sons ranging in age from 30 to 16. My life is wonderful with a loving wife and parents who cared and treated me like a normal human being.
