Diabetes: In 100 Years, The Remarkable Progress Of Insulin Treatment

Insulin is 100 years old and saved the lives of millions of diabetics. Didier Sarrat, who became diabetic at the age of 14, owes him a debt of gratitude for 55 years. At the time, glass syringes set with metal were used to inject insulin to maintain the correct level of sugar in the blood.. From now on, a blood glucose meter can scan a sensor stuck under the skin pour indicate the level of sugar in the blood. With technology, he knows exactly what to eat each day.

At almost 14 years old, Maxence is equipped with the latest technological advances. With this sensor on the arm, connected to an artificial pancreas, this portable pump supplies it with insulin. The medical data is transmitted to a secure server in connection with the hospital. Since 1921, treatments have continued to progress and patients benefit from it. They also rely on those around them to better cope with the disease.
