I remember a time when diabetes was considered a much more severe sentence. The 'invention' of insulin, or its discovery, changed that entirely. It's truly a medical marvel that has saved countless lives. No need to worry about the specific date, just be grateful for it.

My endocrinologist once explained that insulin was effectively 'discovered' and isolated in the early 1920s. It wasn't really 'invented' in the traditional sense, but rather its therapeutic use was identified, which was revolutionary for treating diabetes.
