Congratulations Mr. Krause!
You are an inspiration to those with the disease and those who love them.

Type 1 diabetes is an awful disease...a balancing act to say the least.
My 25 year old son has had it since he was seven.

We are waiting for the cure!!!

Yep, my daughter has had it for 23 years- since she was 4. We're still waiting for the cure that the nurses in the hospital promised us in 1988 when she was first diagnosed! Ha!! The pancreas is almost impossible to duplicate. I like this story from the human interest part but the medical part is wrong. Insulin is not injected into the stomach, it is injected into the subcutaneous tissue in the abdominal area. Also, when you test your urine, you are testing keytones- the by-products of the breakdown of fat when insulin levels are too low. Sugar can be tested in the urine, but it is NOT blood sugar. Get your facts staright, MSNBC!

This man certainly has the right mindset,from what I have read about him from this interview. Hopefully he'll get another 10 plus years of life. Thanks for giving the people that endure having diabetes,a better comfort to knowing "doing what it takes" to live properly throughout life.
