Life with diabetes: Outliving the prognosis
October 22nd, 2007From CNN:
Ann Curley, assignment manager for the CNN Medical News unit, tells about living with type I diabetes for the past 40 years. When she was diagnosed at age 7, the doctor told her family that she would probably only live to the age of 20 or 30. Curley discusses some of the technological innovations that have helped her lead a healthy, active life. She’s hoping to survive for at least 40 more years.
