Diabetes in the WHO European region
Description
At the beginning of the 20th century, diabetes mellitus was a formidable disease. In a young child it was a notice of premature death. For a man or a woman in the prime of life, it meant a complete change in the way of living, and a greatly reduced expectation of life. In the later months of 1921, the persistent interest of a young Canadian surgeon, Frederick Grant Banting, in research on diabetes, was finally rewarded. Together with his younger collaborator, Charles Herbert Best, they isolated insulin and in January 1922, used it successfully in the treatment of patients. One of the greatest and most dramatic discoveries of modern medicine, it completely transformed the outlook for the majority of diabetes sufferers.
