Insulin is a very useful drug for diabetes and was discovered by the Canadian Physician and Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Frederick Grant Banting in 1921. It is a product of unknown nature derived from the pancreas of animals. It regulates the percentage of sugar in blood. If the percentage is too high, it converts the excess into starch and stores the starch in liver, muscles and skin. With the help of insulin, a diabetic patient leads a normal healthy life. It is generally injected into the patient.
