In May 1921, the experiments that would culminate in the synthesis of commercially available insulin first began in Toronto, Canada. Frederick Banting and Charles Best experimented on a number of diabetes-induced dogs with limited success. A breakthrough came when one of the dogs survived for 70 days with injections of the pancreatic extract. Next year, the first successful injection of insulin was administered to a person living with diabetes.
100 years after the discovery of insulin, millions of people with diabetes around the world cannot access the care they need.
