Insulin was discovered by Canadian physician Frederick Banting, along with his research partner Charles Best, in 1921. Their groundbreaking work at the University of Toronto led to the isolation of insulin from the pancreas, which transformed the treatment of Diabetes. Banting's discovery earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1923, which he shared with J.J.R. Macleod, who had also contributed to the research.
