as posted by the channel

In 1920s Toronto, four researchers, including an unlikely country doctor and a world renowned research physician who were often at odds with each other, developed a miracle drug to treat an illness that had perplexed medical science for millennia. The discovery of insulin, which has been described as a "miracle drug," is history that deserves to be remembered.

November is Diabetes Awareness month.
