type 1
“There is no cure; once initiated, the disease will progress to complete destruction of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas,” Pierre Vandepapelière, previous CEO of Imcyse, told me. This Belgian company is developing an innovative form of treatment that could change the way type 1 diabetes is treated.
Currently, there is no cure for type 1 diabetes. Insulin injection is the only medication; however, it accompanies serious medical complications. Current strategies to cure type 1 diabetes include immunotherapy, replacement therapy, and combination therapy.

Banting and best
Banting and Best performed pancreas experiments on dogs to measure sugar in their urine and blood. Over a summer they extracted the first anti-diabetic substance. In January 1922 a diabetic teenager called Leonard Thompson was the first person to receive an insulin injection
In the early 1920s Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under the directorship of John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip insulin was purified, making it available for the successful treatment of diabetes. Banting and Macleod earned a Nobel Prize for their work in 1923.
