Remembering a Veteran: Lt. Colonel Elliott Joslin, MD, AEF Medical Service — Groundbreaking...

With the rise of Type 2 in this country...his research should be revisited and taught to every High School student
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
With the availability of insulin, Joslin expanded his DM practice, which attracted colleagues, eventually becoming the Joslin Clinic in 1952. Still in Boston and today called the Joslin Diabetes Center, it is the largest DM research center, DM treatment clinic and DM education center in the world. Dr. Joslin’s most quoted mantra is “The diabetic who knows the most lives the longest.”
In 1993, 30 years after Joslin’s death, a monumental ten-year study conducted by researchers at 27 sites in the U.S. and Canada concluded that Joslin’s approach to DM management showed a significant reduction in the progression of DM symptoms with no corresponding reduction in lifestyle.

Well done Dr. Joslin! Well done!
