Insulin, The Hormone That Changed the World
A single discovery in 1921 saved millions of lives, yet a century later, insulin — the hormone that turned diabetes from a death sentence into a manageable condition — remains out of reach for many. In this episode of Info On The Go, we explore the extraordinary story of insulin: from ancient descriptions of “sweet urine” in Egypt and India to the groundbreaking experiments in a Toronto lab that changed medical history forever.
We’ll trace the path from insulin’s miraculous discovery and early animal-based production to the rise of recombinant DNA technology and modern insulin analogs. Along the way, we’ll unpack how this life-sustaining hormone actually works, how biotechnology revolutionized its manufacturing, and why affordability remains one of the most pressing health equity issues of our time.
Through stories of scientific brilliance, human resilience, and modern-day struggle, this episode examines insulin’s profound global impact — a tale of science, survival, and the enduring question: Should life-saving medicine ever be a luxury?
