In 1921, Frederick Banting, a young doctor, made a groundbreaking discovery that would transform the treatment of diabetes. Working with his colleague Charles Best at the University of Toronto, Banting successfully extracted insulin from a dog's pancreas. This discovery was pivotal in understanding how to regulate blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Their first human trial on a 14-year-old boy named Leonard Thompson resulted in a dramatic drop in blood sugar levels, proving insulin's effectiveness. Banting's work laid the foundation for modern diabetes management, saving millions of lives worldwide.
