520 ## - ABSTRACT
Abstract Life in the Age of Insulin offers a straightforward and jargon-free narrative account of how insulin was discovered, what it does, why people still struggle to obtain it, and what the future might hold. It tells of the creative power that emerges when many people work towards a common goal, and of collective strength founded upon the limitations of individuals. 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.
