Scientists reflect on diabetes research 100 years after discovery of insulin
Exeter PhD researcher Alice Carr was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2012 at age 17.
Researchers at the University of Exeter teamed up with colleagues at the Indiana University School of Medicine to commemorate the centennial of the discovery of insulin and the critical moments that have led to today’s understanding and clinical approaches.
The new review titled “100 years of insulin: celebrating the past, present and future of diabetes therapy” has just been published in Nature Medicine. It was co-authored by Alice Carr and Richard Oram, PhD, from the University of Exeter’s College of Medicine and Health, and IU School of Medicine physician-scientists Emily Sims, MD, Carmella Evans-Molina, MD, PhD, and Linda DiMeglio, MD, MPH.

In April of 2018, the Iceland grocery store chain released a video featuring its managing director, Richard Walker, on a research trip in Borneo.
“We went expecting to see some palm oil plantations and some forest clearance,” Walker says in a voiceover, as we watch him descending the steps of a regional airplane, sunglasses perched on his head, and clambering over fallen logs in a dense rainforest.
“But nothing prepared me for the industrial scale of what we saw. We witnessed an environmental disaster zone.” The video concluded with the announcement that Iceland would eliminate palm oil from its in-house products by the end of 2018.
