“What makes the origin story of insulin so remarkable is that, by all logic, the discovery should not have happened when it did and in the manner that it did,” says Maltman. “A lot of unlikely things had to occur, and serendipity played a huge role.” ow.ly/ITuQ50Q7wjr

It's #WorldDiabetesDay Type 1 diabetes is not preventable. Type 2 #diabetes is often preventable through a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight & avoiding tobacco use. Diabetes can be different for everyone - every lived experience matters. ⬇️ bit.ly/3Sv1jbZ

In May 1921, Fredrick Banting met in John Macleod's lab to begin their experiments with insulin. In January 1922, the first person received an insulin injection. By 1923, insulin was commercially available. Banting and Macleod received the 1923 medicine prize. #WorldDiabetesDay
