Exactly 104 years ago on January 11, 1922 doctors injected the first dose of insulin to a 13 year old boy in Toronto who was dying from diabetes.

This first dose failed.

12 days later the doctors decided to try again.
Amazingly, this time seemed to work!

Diabetes was no longer a death sentence.🇨🇦
