Thus far in my family it's only me, my grandmother (deceased), and two of my uncles (all of us on my father's side).Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114372521628384331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-90085668599842890872011-07-27T15:24:26.873-04:002011-07-27T15:24:26.873-04:00Awesome post as usual K2.Awesome post as usual K2.NeurosurgeryNPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341899812208156100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-27313210704592570372011-07-27T14:25:55.830-04:002011-07-27T14:25:55.830-04:00THANK YOU, indeed!THANK YOU, indeed!Denise aka Mom of Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726979027850619807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-73864098437116803262011-07-27T13:16:54.171-04:002011-07-27T13:16:54.171-04:00Totally grateful!!!

Funny I just read an Historical paper, who mention a fellow, bochemist who was pivotal in the success of developing usable insulin. Here is a quote:<br />"It was JB Collip the biochemist who had produced the<br />successful extract. He had developed a method of extraction<br />that involved changing the concentrations of slightly acidic<br />alcohol solutions of chilled beef pan creas. It is not clear<br />which members of the research team fi rst suggested using<br />acid alcohol until he was able to precipitate out the active<br />principle relatively free from toxic contaminants. It was a<br />major improve ment on Banting and Best’s methods, the<br />single most important step forward in the discovery process.1<br />Banting and Best were particularly confused and self serving<br />in their refusal to recognize their collabo rators contributions<br />to the work, as Newelyn Barker put it that “in insulin there<br />is glory enough for all”.1<br />The glory came almost immediately. On 3rd May, 1922,"<br /><br />This was news to me. I will email you the article if interested.<br /><br />Cheers!Trevhttp://www.three2treat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-14057405871484584972011-07-27T13:12:44.717-04:002011-07-27T13:12:44.717-04:00As I wait for my correction bolus to kick my high ...As I wait for my correction bolus to kick my high BG back down this morning, I'm incredibly grateful...for insulin, and for your post!
