Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
In the spirit of today’s holiday, a couple of days ago I posted a piece about the things that we as diabetics can be thankful for – from the modern conveniences we enjoy that diabetics in the past did not have access to, to the hope for a cure that we are still fighting for.
Diabetes Mine posted yesterday a story much on the same lines about a couple of filmmakers – Lisa Hepner and Guy Mossman, who are working on the documentary “Patient 13? about some very interesting research into a possible diabetes cure.

The post features an interview with the husband-and-wife filmmakers, and talks about how we can all help get the project off the ground by both donating and letting others know about the documentary.
As a film major I may be a little bit biased, but I know just how influential and fear-reaching movies can be. You can never really predict what can happen, how big it can get, and how close it can get us to a type 1 diabetes cure. But it is a very exciting project and I think people should at least watch the trailer (posted on the site) and see how they feel about it.
