Dr. Frederick Banting a surgeon from Toronto, Ontario, Canada initially came up with the idea to use insulin in October 1920 and in early 1921 he took his idea to Professor John Macleod of the University of Toronto who provided Banting with a laboratory with little equipment, an assistant named Charles Best and ten dogs to experiment on. In late 1921 biochemist Bertram Collip joined the team with the task of purifying the insulin so they could begin testing on humans. The first person to receive insulin shots was 14 year old Leonard Thompson of Toronto, Ontario, Canada who in January 1922 was near death. However, after he was treated with insulin he quickly recovered his strength and appetite. Then in 1923, Banting and Macleod shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work with insulin in treating Diabetes.
