January 23, 1922. : The first Insulin injection is used on a diabetic teenager.

The first injection of insulin (initially called Isletin) was made on 14-year-old Leonard Thompson on 23 January 1922 at the Toronto General Hospital in Ontario, Canada. Thompson suffered a severe allergic reaction as a result of an apparent impurity in the injection. Over the next twelve days, chemist James Collip improved and purified the ox-pancreas extract, delivering a second injection which was successful in bringing the boy out of his diabetic coma. Thompson recovered, and continued to be treated regularly with insulin until he died of pneumonia thirteen years later.
