Diabetes remedy and its history

Insulin was co-discovered by a Canadian doctor, Dr. Frederick Banting. Banting shared in the 1923 Nobel Prize for Medicine with Dr. J.J.R. Macleod of Scotland in recognition of their work in this area. At the time he received his Nobel Prize, Banting was only 32. To this day, he remains the youngest recipient of the award in his category, as well as one of the youngest Nobel laureates ever in any category.
