100 years of physiology, discrimination and wonder
Diabetic Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 Abstract There has been 100 years of research detailing the role of insulin in glucose, protein and free fatty acid metabolism. We explore the learnings though evolution and changes in management with an understanding of how it has impacted the care of people with diabetes.
