NOTES

Written for the lay public, this book describes innovations in the treatment of diabetes before and after the discovery of insulin through the life story of Dr. Elliott P. Joslin, who wrote the first English textbook on the treatment of diabetes. Nurtured by the love of his mother, a staunch New England Puritan, Joslin, the son of a shoemaker in a village outside Boston, rose to be arguably the greatest diabetologist of the 20th-century
