Event Overview

The "Milestones of Modern Diabetology" event series highlights the significant advancements in the treatment of diabetes. A century ago, type 1 diabetes was a fatal disease with limited treatment options. The groundbreaking isolation of insulin by two Canadian researchers in 1921 marked a turning point, laying the foundation for effective diabetes treatment. Since then, insulin delivery and glucose monitoring have seen rapid advancements, improving the quality of life for those with diabetes.
