Wishing Dr Waldron a Long and Happy Retirement

Did you know that insulin, the life-saving hormone for millions living with diabetes, was born from a midnight spark of inspiration?

In 1920, Canadian physician Frederick Banting was preparing a lecture on the pancreas when he came across an intriguing idea: if the pancreatic ducts were tied off, the insulin-producing cells might survive. At 2 a.m., he scribbled in his notebook:

“Tie off pancreatic ducts… preserve islets… extract secretion.”

That note became the foundation of one of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the 20th century.

By 1921, Banting teamed up with medical student Charles Best to test the theory on diabetic dogs. They isolated a substance from the pancreas—what we now know as insulin—and injected it. The results were immediate: blood sugar levels dropped.

On January 11, 1922, a 14-year-old boy named Leonard Thompson became the first human to receive insulin. The first dose failed. But after purifying the formula, the next attempt transformed his health within days.

In 1923, Banting was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine, which he shared with Best. That late-night idea sparked a revolution in diabetes care that continues to save lives to this day.

📌 Sometimes, a single late-night note can change everything.
