I had a diabetic student in one of my small classes and I remember when she was excited about new phone apps to control her pump. I've also read a bit about the history of recombinant insulin and the protein engineering of the new versions. IIRC there was a story recently about the glucose monitor she wears during games. All of this was a dream when I was growing up and kids were injecting insulin from pig or cow pancreas. The advances in surgery that have shortened rehab from "never play again" to a few months also blow my mind. When our Jordan Jones tore up her ACL and meniscus in the last regular season game she was back in time to play 30 games the following year. Which means Cox might miss some games in the early preseason but she's likely to play next year. [/QUOTE]
