In the first episode of our series, we dive into the fascinating and dark history of insulin. Discovered in 1921 by Canadian scientists Frederick Banting and Charles Best, insulin revolutionized the treatment of diabetes and became a life-saving medication for millions of people. But, as we explore in this episode, insulin also has a shadow side—one that turns this once-celebrated drug into a deadly weapon in the hands of those with sinister intentions.

We’ll take you back to the early days of insulin’s discovery, where it was hailed as a medical miracle for those suffering from diabetes. But as the drug became more widely available, it was also misused for darker purposes—most notably in cases of poisoning and murder.

Join us as we explore the first-ever recorded case of insulin murder, where a scheming spouse used the drug as a weapon of deception and control. We'll walk you through the mechanism of insulin, how it works in the body, and why it can be so deadly in the wrong hands. 

This episode unravels the complexities of insulin, revealing how a medical breakthrough meant to save lives can also be manipulated for the most horrifying reasons. Tune in to discover the darker side of medical history—where science and crime intersect in a way that might surprise you.
