Sarah, the Joslin Clinic in Boston gives a certificate for 25 years and a
bronze medal for 50 years. Joslin, for those who don’t know, is the premier
diabestes treatment center. A lot of what we do today and don’t even think
about as diabetics was first developed at Joslin.

Joslin Diabetes Center
One Joslin Place
Boston, MA

They will alert Eli Lilly Co. and Joslin sends a Bronze 50-yr medal
(paper weight, actually) and Lilly will send a Sterling Silver
engraved medal on an s.s. chain. - for 50 years. A certificate is
issued for 25 years from Joslin. You can find them on the web. They
send paperwork to be filled out for verification.

A few weeks ago, someone mentioned (though I could
have read it on Jan’s web site) that Lifescan or Lilly
or some other diabetes product supplier gives a medal
or something for 25 and 50 years of living with
diabetes. Does anyone know anything about this
(despite my vagueness)?

I guess I never really noticed before, but we were dxed the same year. A
