It envisages a future of competitive insulin pricing and revolutionary therapies, kindling hope for health equity.


With over 70 million insulin users world-wide, this book bridges the gap for patients and families. It will appeal to health professionals, to those intrigued by science, and to anyone who likes a good story.


Life in the Age of Insulin is an empathetic and enlightening saga of science, society and human resilience.
