Whatever Works

This guy was diagnosed with what we now call Type 1 diabetes as a boy, but went on to live a normal live. Okay, maybe not so normal: He's still around 85 years later. Back when he was diagnosed, diabetes was not the controllable disease it is today. And his survival to his present age of 90 came with a tough attitude towards food, which he treats as purely for fuel and not for pleasure, and with constant -- up to a dozen times per day -- testing of his blood. Not fun, but you can't argue with the results. (AP via ABC News)
