Six years old. 26 pounds. In 1922, starvation was the only treatment for people living with type 1 diabetes, like Teddy. It bought time. It didn’t save lives.
That changed when Canadian researchers isolated insulin and Lilly got to work scaling the discovery into a reliable supply. Teddy was one of the first to receive it, and a year later, he was climbing trees. He lived to 76.
