According to Dr. Kariampuhza, Lillian Stamps’ endocrinologist, she could be the longest living person with diabetes. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 3 in 1929.
Below is an excerpt from the Tyler Morning Telegraph article written by Melissa McTee:
“Lillian was diagnosed around a time when different medications were being discovered to help with diabetes,” said Dr. Kariampuhza. “She had been put on every medication to help treat it, she was diagnosed at age 3 and insulin was discovered in 1921.”
Ms. Stamps remembers her parents kept her insulin cool in the water well in the front yard because refrigerators were expensive.
