Insulin Diabetes, or diabetes mellitus, has been known since the 1600s, but beginning in the summer of 1921, scientists at the University of Toronto began experimental research to find something to treat it. In the spring of 1921, Toronto researchers announced the discovery of insulin. The scientists first began their tests on dogs, removing the pancreas and creating a substance called “isletin.” Isletin was then injected into a diabetic dog, and over a few days, it became healthier and stronger, free of symptoms. To increase testing, they then required larger organs, trying to cows. After their new testing concluded in positive results, they were eager to test on humans. On January 11th, 1922, they tested on their first human, 14-year old Leonard Thompson and were able to successfully treat him. His blood sugars returned to normal and was relieved of his diabetic symptoms. For their new discovery, 2 of the 4 researchers, Banting and MacLeod were honored for their work and received the 1923 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine.
