I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 50 years now and thank God for technology coming through like it has. When I started we had no blood sugar testing, only urine testing. Now we see what our blood sugars are in five minutes, which is great. Now I am on the bionic pancreas, which is a life-changing mechanism I think that after 50 years hopefully this will let me live another 20 years. I want to think the Texas Lions Club and my God for making it possible for me to make it through these years of diabetes.
