Goodwill to Goodwin: Diabetes and the UK's first clinical trial of insulin
In 1923, Sheffield industrialist Sir Stuart Goodwin became one of the first diabetes patients in the UK to be treated successfully with insulin. The first episode of the Overend-Knight Medical History Podcast explains the prospects for diabetes patients in the 1920s, how the University of Sheffield was chosen by the Medical Research Council to run Britain's first clinical trials of insulin, and the innovative diabetes research that continues to this day.
