Dr. Banting's Miracle Drug 

Hopefully some other scientists as well.

Hopefully soon some scientists will make it affordable maybe even free. May it be God's will

I am 54 and a t-1 I have never had a Ha1c over 7 and that is the key to living a long life with it. My ant lived to 85 as a T-1 and just passed this year.

God bless you my son started when he was 5 yrs old and is now 8. I'm hope he lives a long happy life as well as yourself. With love and respect 🙏 may they find a cure one day if at all possible.

Hello Sandra, Good evening. They all deserve credit for this, it amazing.

Dude I feel that MASSIVELY. I was diagnosed in my late teens and I literally still think about it all the time. For what it is truly worth, Im glad that you werent born before the discovery. Let's make something good about our lives since we've been granted the chance! Maybe even in the way of helping other diabetics get the medicine they need by informing, etc. Keep the faith, man- your fellow sweetblood in arms!! 💪🩸🎗🫂

Hello There, Good afternoon. Yea they all deserve credit, it’s amazing.

Sou diabético tipo 1 e esse vídeo foi incrível. Obrigado por fazer isso!

Hello Anne, Good evening.

My grandparents both died of Type 11 diabetes leaving my mother, an only child, alone in large house in downtown Toronto at age 19. She told me she used to see your uncle on the streets in Toronto. I guess wit-h all the attention in the newspapers of the day, he was recognizable and a 'celebrity' to the residents who lived there. What an incredible achievement. Awfully glad that Dr. Banting acknowledged Dr. Best's contributions - as did the Nobel Prize Foundation albeit 50 years later.

@@singtweetypie that's amazing, my great grandma used to tell me stories when I was young...but I never understood the true impact of their achievements.

@@Jbird60283 Well I am certain as an adult it all become very clear. The magnitude of these doctors' achievements and the huge impact their discovery had on the world is almost hard to comprehend. You must be so proud of your uncle and I know Canada is just as proud of this incredible research and discovery that helped saved millions of lives and will continue to do so for generations to come.

What I find simply fascinating is NOT the discovery of Insulin, rather, the discovery of how to make people diabetic! Plug up circulation to the pancreas ... then ka ching ka ching ... What a couple of great Ziontists!

Realmente é uma droga milagrosa

It may be a bit much to say "other researchers got as far," and "superfluous", but Collip DID have as i see, ex aequo most important role, definitely more than Best Edit: meanwhile Eli Lilly sons of bitches make all the money in the us by elevating prices. Buy Novorapid from Sweden, i do for 15 years now. Not an advertisement, i'm just diabetic xD

you need biological systems similar to humans to improve our lives. no other choice.

its better then use slave or War Prisoder for medicine testing

I am not sad, I am thankful. They sacrificed themselves to save my life. Every dog I've met has been that loyal, and every dog I've witnessed at the end of their life has continued to be that loyal regardless of the conditions. I really believe that know they are man's best friend for a reason.

How can you say “just to create this miracle drug” as if a miracle drug doesn’t cause a miracle? I am alive today because of the sacrifice of those dogs. I am forever grateful

I made the same judgment like yours in the beginning. However after working in medical research for 30 years, I changed my opinion. First, in the olden days, the system was very different. Banting may have the idea but he had no funding, no laboratory space and facilities of his own. He needed someone to provide him all of the above and McLeod did exactly that. Without McLeod, Banting may not be able to do any of his work. So in fact for him to show McLeod off by proposing his student Best as a co-winner was not very nice, to put it mildly, to being ungrateful to his benefactor Dr, McCleod. Today, the head of the research lab is called the Principal Investigator, P.I. He/she is responsible for applying for research grants. He/she owns the grant money and hires people to work under him/her. So in today's standard, McCleod was the P. I. who provided Banting with lab space, funding for equipments, dogs and even a student called Best. Some principal investigators work closely with their people and some don't, depending on different situations. But irrespective of who produce the results and who wrote up the paper, the principal investigator's name is always put as the 'last author', if you understand what it means to be called the 'last author' of a research paper. It means he/she is the principal investigator, he/she owns the grant that funds the research, he/she oversees the whole research and signs off the paper, he/she puts his/her reputation at stake on the paper. In today's standard, Dr, McLeod is the principal investigator and the 'last author' of Banting's paper/ work/ achievement. Principal Investigators own the labs, own the grants and every bit of equipment in the lab. They do not usually or necessarily carry out the work themselves. They supervise students, post doctorates and research associates (many of them are Ph. D's) to carry out the projects. In turn, Research associates and students often delegate their work to technicians. So it's a group effort. It's not the glory of one person.

And what do you mean by that? I don't understand
