The Diabetic Manual

Right now, I am supposed to be studying for my exam tonight.  What am I doing instead?  Procrastinating big time by reading the "Diabetic Manual: Tenth Edition" written by Dr. Elliot Joslin in 1959.

I found this at an antique store in Maine last summer and have been meaning to read it but haven't got around to it until now, when I'm supposed to study :-)  I'm interested to see what kind of advice was given to PWD in 1959.  I'll be sure to post some good tidbits as I get to them.
