If you’re feeling these in combination- GET IN! Don’t goof around either. Inability to stop drinking/peeing is not normal. And the thirst is unbelievable!

Remember folks-this can happen at ANY age! If you’re dying of thirst, you’re peeing up a storm (even getting up several times a night) and you’re sluggish and losing weight without trying-GET IN.
YESTERDAY!

Meet Teo. He was diagnosed when he was 7 a couple of years ago. Poor fella- he was dying of an unquenchable thirst, peeing huge amount of urine every hour, extremely fatigued and was losing weight. If memory serves, I believe his sugar was around 800 and he was one sick dude. But now with hard work, perserverence and Ofcourse, insulin, now he playing football, will be playing basketball in the winter, and thriving!

Insulin- discovered 102 years ago. Dispensed one year later.

This is a pediatric hospital ward in 1922. All children in this area were dying from ketoacidosis while their parents helplessly watched and waited for the inevitable. It was only a matter of time.
This was truly one of medicine’s most magical moments.
Scientists then went from bed to bed, injecting a newly discovered, purified extract- Insulin.
A marvelous thing occurred; children that were injected first began waking up.
A room of death and helplessness became a place of Life, Joy and Hope.
We owe our lives to Drs. Banting and Best.
