On April 15, 1923, insulin became generally available for use by people. This marked a monumental milestone in medical history, particularly in the treatment of diabetes. Insulin, discovered by Frederick Banting, Charles Best, and colleagues in 1921, revolutionized the management of diabetes, which had previously been a fatal condition. The availability of insulin allowed individuals with diabetes to regulate their blood sugar levels and significantly extended their lifespan. This breakthrough has since saved countless lives and continues to be a cornerstone in the treatment of diabetes worldwide.
