🩵WORLD DIABETES DAY💙
In 1922, at the University of Toronto, scientists went to a hospital ward with children who were comatose and dying from diabetic keto-acidosis. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child.

The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with the new purified extract - insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken. One by one, all of the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom, became a place of joy and hope.

The discovery of insulin by Dr. Frederick Banting, Charles Best, James Collip, and John Macleod at the University of Toronto stands as one of the most dramatic breakthroughs in medical history. Before 1922, type 1 diabetes was essentially a death sentence, especially for children, who would waste away despite strict starvation diets.

The first clinical use of insulin in January 1922 transformed the fate of patients almost overnight. That ward of comatose children became a living testament to scientific achievement, within hours, the extract was reversing symptoms once thought irreversible. Parents who had been preparing for funerals were instead embracing their children.

This moment didn’t just save those young lives, it reshaped the future for millions worldwide. Today, insulin remains an essential therapy for people with diabetes, and the events of that day in 1922 are remembered as a turning point from despair to hope in modern medicine.

🩷💚40 years ago, when I was first diagnosed with T1 Diabetes, my insulin had to be given via syringes, then I transitioned to insulin delivery pens and was eventually injecting up to 8 times a day.
Next I was given an insulin pump. Worn on the body, a small device that would deliver the insulin instead of injecting.

Today, I’m feeling super grateful and excited to be upgraded to this new insulin pump system.
Using cutting edge technology to
monitor my blood glucose levels and deliver insulin; I’m really hoping this will make living with diabetes just that little bit easier ☺️
Thank you NHS 🩷💚
