Here ’s to 100 Years of Insulin and Science—and More to Come!

In the last year we ’ve celebrated the 100th anniversary of insulin as a treatment for diabetes. Many articles were published on this topic, providing cause for gratitude and optimism in a year that has otherwise been difficult. To conclude this celebration, the January 2022 issue ofDiabetes Care contains two fine articles. One is an historical perspective by David Harlan and colleagues (1), tracing the evolution of our understanding of insulin, the people who took part in it, and the scientific explosion stimulated by insulin-related research. The other, by Will Cefalu et al. (2), describes the proceedings of a scientific symposium staged by the Canadian Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes and the U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
