    Insulin therapy development beyond 100 years - 3 year(s) ago

    The first insulin preparation capable of consistently lowering blood glucose was developed in 1921. But 100 years later, blood glucose control with insulin in people with diabetes is nearly universally suboptimal, with essentially the same molecule still delivered by the same inappropriate subcutaneous injection route. Bypassing this route with oral administration appears to have become…

    Insulin, the patient, and the health professional - 3 year(s) ago

    Before 1921 the diagnosis of diabetes was a death sentence, with an average life expectancy of less than 2 years in young people, who were only kept alive by a starvation regimen that reduced them to walking skeletons.1 The discovery of insulin in 1921 was transformative and many patients with diabetes went on to live full and productive lives.

      The demands of self-managing type 1 diabetes can take their toll. Despite technological advances, a quality partnership between patient & health professional remains central to treatment. @simonrheller #Insulin100 https://t.co/zYjdMwqt0L

    The WHO Global Diabetes Compact: a new initiative to support people living with diabetes - 3 year(s) ago

    Diabetes is a global epidemic. Today, approximately 6% of the world’s population—more than 420 million people—live with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. This number has quadrupled since 1980, and is estimated to rise beyond half a billion by the end of the decade. Whereas premature mortality from other major non-communicable diseases is decreasing, early deaths from diabetes have actually…

    Failing to address access to insulin in its centenary year would be a catastrophic moral failure - 3 year(s) ago

    “I need to be blunt: the world is on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure—and the price of this failure will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world’s poorest countries.”1 This statement, from WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, made as he opened the annual WHO Executive Board meeting in January, 2021, concerned the inadequate access to COVID-19 vaccines for low-income…

    Insulin's centenary: the birth of an idea - 3 year(s) ago

    At 2:00 h on Oct 31, 1920, Frederick G Banting, a surgeon practising in London, ON, Canada, conceived an idea to isolate the internal secretion of the pancreas. The following week, he met with noted scientist John J R Macleod in Toronto, ON, Canada, and they developed a research plan. By August, 1921, Banting and his student assistant Charles H Best had prepared an effective extract from a canine…
