Dr. Fredrick Banting, Charles Best (a medical student at the time of the discovery), Professor J. J. R. Macleod and Dr. James Collip.

The Eating Disorders Foundation of Canada is located at Suite 230a, 100 Collip Circle, Western University Research Park, London Ontario N6G 4X8. Most of the major provinces in Canada have their own treatment centers and are usually located in the province capitals.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of insulin was awarded to Frederick G. Banting and John Macleod in 1923. Banting and Macleod's work revolutionized the treatment of diabetes and saved countless lives. Their research laid the groundwork for further developments in the understanding and treatment of diabetes.

Dr. Frederick Banting a surgeon from Toronto, Ontario, Canada initially came up with the idea to use insulin in October 1920 and in early 1921 he took his idea to Professor John Macleod of the University of Toronto who provided Banting with a laboratory with little equipment, an assistant named Charles Best and ten dogs to experiment on. In late 1921 biochemist Bertram Collip joined the team with the task of purifying the insulin so they could begin testing on humans. The first person to receive insulin shots was 14 year old Leonard Thompson of Toronto, Ontario, Canada who in January 1922 was near death. However, after he was treated with insulin he quickly recovered his strength and appetite. Then in 1923, Banting and Macleod shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work with insulin in treating diabetes.

Insulin was discovered in Toronto, Canada in the summer of 1921. It was discovered by Frederick Grant Banting and Charles Best in a search for a cure for diabetes; insulin was discovered 4 months later. During the discovery phase, Dr. Banting and Charles Best worked alone to produce and test the drug on dogs. Dr. Bertram Collip and John J. R. MacLeod joined the team when insulin test worked and the purification stage started. Dr. Banting and John J. R. MacLeod were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923 for their work and discovery of insulin. On January 23, 1922, the first successful test on a human patient with diabetes occurred. Insulin was given to dangerously ill Leonard Thompson, and his condition improved dramatically in just a few hours. The groundwork for the discovery of insulin, had been done by several other scientists before Dr. Banting and his team actually discovered it. In 1889, two Europeans, Minkowski and von Mering, found that when the pancreas gland was removed from dogs, the dogs got all the symptoms of diabetic people and died soon after their pancreas had been removed. Minkowski and von Mering proposed that the pancreas was crucial for sugar metabolism. Later experimenters narrowed the search to the Islets of Langerhans (clusters of specialized cells within the pancreas). In 1910, Sharpey-Shafer suggested that a single chemical was missing from the pancreas in diabetic people. He proposed calling this chemical insulin, and later the Dr. Banting and his team took him up on the suggestion. The molecular structure of insulin was determined in 1995 by Frederick Sanger. Insulin was the first protein to be deciphered. Human insulin was also the first human protein to be made synthetically. In 1996 the FDA approved a human insulin called Humalog, Humalog was specially developed to be active very quickly after injection.

(Excuse my sarcasm) No. People waste money on insulin and test strips just because it gives them a boost of self esteem;). Hahaha, yes you could, high sugar levels could lead to heart problems, & blood pressure, which can lead to heart attack or stroke.
