History of Diabetes

This is one of my absolute favourite diabetes stories!!

Eva Saxl lived with T1D during World War Two. She and her husband managed to manufacture their own insulin. They kept Eva, as well as hundreds of other people with diabetes, alive during the war.

EDIT: For the sake of transparency, I'm editing the image on this post and explaining why:

There were two errors in the graphic. These were pointed out by commenters (thank you for the corrections!!) and I don't want to share incorrect information.

1. The book title was incorrect in the original image. I've corrected the title.

2. The image used for Eva Saxl, while it comes up quite a bit when I Google her name, seems to not be her. The new image is of Eva and Viktor. This happens sometimes with pictures of people in diabetes history (you should see the pictures of Leonard Thompson that come up when you Google him), but, it's still on me for not looking into it deeper.

Apologies for the errors, it's still an amazing story!! 💙

Didn't need any honey packets thanks to my cutie friends who know diabetes. This mental health Monday, think about the people in your life who support you. If you're needing to strengthen your social system, then think about how to make that a priority. Include the people who are always cheering you on and rooting for you even if they don't understand. You can help them by letting them know how they can help you!!

Agree! We can control a lot, but we can never achieve perfection, so accepting our condition is key.

Carl Rogers, one of the founders of humanistic psychotherapy and person-centered therapy. One of my favorite psychologists. Person centered therapy focuses on creating a therapeutic environment grounded in acceptance, genuineness and empathic understanding. It seeks to support a client's self actualization, feeling most like themselves and behaving in a way that supports their own self-concept. What wise words. Someone who is educated is able to learn that they can learn to change and grow.
