    "Banting and Macleod received the 1923 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for the discovery of insulin. That the Nobel committee chose only Banting and Macleod for the award caused more animosity.By the end of 1923 insulin had been in commercial production for a year at the Eli Lilly and Company laboratories in Indianapolis. Diabetics who received insulin shots recovered from comas, resumed eating carbohydrates (in moderation), and realized they had been given a new lease on life."
