Thrilled to participate in today’s @PMTC2021 conference and talk about meeting students where they are at (figuratively and literally).

1/4 My statement highlights the 100th anniversary of the discovery of #insulin @UofT, reminding us of our great achievements and continuing challenges as the global public health burden of diabetes increases, exacerbated by inequities. canada.ca/en/public-heal…

Inspiration for insulin struck Dr. Frederick Banting in the middle of the night in Oct 1920 after he’d prepared a lecture on the pancreas – the organ responsible for producing the hormone. Almost 100yrs has passed since the discovery of insulin at @UofT 2/17
Once unknown scientists, Drs. Frederick Banting & Charles Best have since become household names in Canada. What’s less familiar is how life has changed for people with diabetes due to insulin. 3/17
