The Story of Insulin
If you weren't able to watch last night's episode of dLifeTV, you missed a good one. In a special documentary presentation, dLifeTV traced the evolution of the most important advancement in diabetes treatment to date - the discovery of insulin. Watch it online now.

The retelling of the history of insulin was great. It’s great to see images associated with the story.
I know that the story is now viewable from your website. Will it be available on DVD or other media for Support Groups to be able to play at meetings ?Thanks in advance

My husband I, both diabetic watched the show and really enjoyed it. Neither of us is insulin dependent but the information was really great to know. I would like to see the story continue into the time when oral medicines were developed.

My husband and I watched the history of insulin and were so glad. Tho both diabetic neither of us is insulin dependent, but to know and understand the history of insulin development & how diabetics had to starve themselves to control their blood sugar certianly made both of us appreciative of the treatments available today. I would love to see a continuance of the insulin story up to and including the development of oral medications.
We watch every week and want to congratulate Nicole on the healthy birth of her precious new little girl.















Is it possible to get The Story of Insulin in DVD or tape format to use with my hospital support group? I believe it would really be appreciated by the attendees. Thanks for your consideration.
