In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death. The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room that was full of death and gloom suddenly became a place of joy and hope. In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes. Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923. Banting was 32 when he received the Nobel Prize, and he chose to share half the prize money with Best, who was his assistant and just 24 years old at the time. Banting refused to put his name on the patent and instead sold it to the University of Toronto for $1. He thought it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save millions of lives. "Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.

@LDAService tragic, all so inevitable but with the right support services in place this may have been prevented.

Britain’s shorter children reveal a grim story about austerity, but its scars run far deeper | Michael Marmot “Not only is child poverty high, and rising, in the UK; we don’t spend very much on young children.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@salhogg @MichaelMarmot Shameful - 6th richest country in the world and our children are suffering the impact of poverty.

Unbelievable - this same video has just been taken down by @tiktok_uk for 'violating community guidelines' - I cannot for the life of me fathom what guidelines it may have broken they are about 'harm'. I think the algorithm is having an off-day!

@DrProudman Shameful
