...today, Nov. 14, is World Diabetes Day? This day was chosen because it is the birthday of Dr. Frederick Banting, the man who discovered insulin.
The link below shows how the children at a Canadian school are celebrating Diabetes Day, and honoring Dr. Banting.
I knew that the 14th was WDD but not until about a week ago did I know that it was Dr Banting's b-day
Doris, I will have to admit that I did not know that either, until this month.
LOL! Now I don't feel so all alone! LOL!
Hi Richard. Thanks for the link. I love the photos we're getting here on TuD of World Diabetes Day.
didn't know that
I knew that but it was only about 2 years ago that I found out. If it wasn't for the DOC, I wouldn't know anything!
Kelly, I started learning from the DOC in July, 2006. I had been type 1 for 61 years befor that, and now I realize I knew very little about diabetes management beforehand. that seems ridiculous, but it is true. My doctors were not very well informed themselves, but I did nor realize it at that time.
