Lawana Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 As the mother of a daughter who has Type 1 diabetes, I am so grateful for the development of insulin therapy. Without it, she would not be alive today. Today's Google doodle celebrates Dr. Banting, the first to use insulin therapy on humans. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen A Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Indeed, I am SO, SO glad to live today, not 100/200/1000 years ago, when so few true medications were available. A few years ago I read a book about a girl/young woman who was one of the first to experimentally use insulin. It was a really interesting read, actually. https://www.amazon.com/Breakthrough-Elizabeth-Discovery-Insulin-Medical/dp/0312611749 Hope your daughter is doing great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
