Elliott Proctor Joslin, M.D. (6 June 1869 – 28 January 1962) was the first doctor in the United States to specialize in diabetes and was the founder of today's Joslin Diabetes Center.
Quotes from Dr. Joslin
"The diabetic who knows the most, lives the longest."
"It is better to discuss how far you have walked, then how little you have eaten."
"A well trained nurse is of more value than the patient’s doctors."
"We can only scratch one back at a time, but we can teach many patients together and each is likely to teach another."
"The man who gives up an active outdoor life and is promoted to an office chair by this change becomes a promising candidate for diabetes."
"The person with diabetes needs character building just as much as body building… personal responsibility for his own and family welfare should always be cultivated in the foreground."
"Learn as if you have to learn forever, live as if you die tomorrow."
