Legendary! 🙌🙌

Before 1922, people with Type 1 diabetes had no hope of living. Fourteen-year-old Leonard Thompson was very sick and unconscious in a hospital in Toronto. His parents thought he would die. Then, Dr. Frederick Banting and Charles Best came with something new — a special medicine called insulin that had never been used on a person before.

The doctors gave Leonard the first injection carefully. After a few minutes, something amazing happened — his breathing became steady, and he slowly got stronger. For the first time ever, someone with diabetes could survive because of this new treatment.

Dr. Banting and his team didn’t want to make money from their discovery. They sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for only one dollar so that everyone could have access to it. Their kindness and hard work changed medical history and gave hope to millions of people around the world.
