My Second Choice Since Ryan Gosling Was Disqualified

Ryan, can it be true? You're one of us? NOW WE CAN SHARE EVERYTHING. Okay, so maybe Ryan Gosling isn't a diabetic. That doesn't mean he can't be my diabetes hero. After all, titles and social constraints are arbitrary labels unjustly imposed

Okay, so maybe Ryan Goslingreally can't be my diabetes hero (did you see Drive? THE JACKET ALONE MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE). He'll just be my I-kind-of-wish-I-was-you hero, or, failing that, my I-want-to-wear-your-skin-as-a-Gosling-suit hero. Oh, but I'm digressing again. Please ignore everything you just read. Everything except the decree that you see Drive as soon as possible. Let me tell you about my diabetes hero. He was a quiet man, a shy doctor with a small family practice in Ontario, Canada. One night in October of 1920, musing on his discipline as he wrote in his journal, he had a thought, scribbled it down, and there it sat, not to be revisited for almost a year.
