This is Type 1: Real-Life Type 1 Diabetes
Diabetes by the Decades
What's the history of type 1 diabetes since insulin was discovered in 1921?
We have come a long way from animal-sourced insulin and needles that had to be sharpened after multiple uses.
Sometimes it's mind-boggling to think that T1D was a straight-up death sentence just over a hundred years ago.
With that in mind, Jessie walks us through diabetes research and milestones decade by decade, including our own diagnoses.
