Working to make diabetic care accessible for all

In 2021, we celebrate the centenary of the discovery of insulin by the Canadian scientists Frederick Banting and Charles Best, followed a year later by the first person receiving insulin treatment. This ground-breaking milestone changed the outlook for people living with type 1 diabetes from a death sentence to a manageable chronic disease.

Globally most people with Type 1 diabetes do not have access to lifesaving insulin.
