In 1922, a medical breakthrough transformed type 1 diabetes from an almost certain death sentence into a condition that people could survive. Before insulin was discovered, children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes often had only months or a few years to live. Their bodies could no longer produce enough insulin, the hormone that allows glucose from the bloodstream to enter cells and helps regulate blood sugar. Without insulin, the body begins breaking down fat and muscle for energy. Patients experience extreme thirst, frequent urination, rapid weight loss, and eventually life-threatening complications. At the time, doctors had very few treatment options. Some prescribed extremely restrictive diets to prolong survival, but these could leave patients severely malnourished. Everything began to change in 1921, when Frederick Banting and Charles Best, working with John Macleod at the University of Toronto, conducted experiments that helped establish how insulin could be extracted and used to treat diabetes. Biochemist James Collip subsequently helped purify the extract, making it suitable for human treatment. In January 1922, 14-year-old Leonard Thompson became the first person to receive successful insulin treatment for diabetes. The results were extraordinary. Patients who had been dangerously thin and weak began regaining weight, recovering strength, and returning to everyday activities. The historical photographs shown here document the dramatic physical improvement possible after several months of insulin treatment. In 1923, Banting and Macleod received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of insulin. Today, more than a century later, insulin remains essential for people with type 1 diabetes. Modern insulin formulations, glucose monitors, and insulin pumps have made treatment considerably safer and more effective. However, insulin is a treatment, not a cure. People with type 1 diabetes generally require it throughout their lives.
