S5 EP6: Not all heroes wear capes

When Lisa’s son was diagnosed with Type 1 at age seven, she did what any parent would do: she searched for answers. But when she couldn’t find the book she needed — one that explained the history of insulin to kids and grown-ups, she decided to write it herself. That book became It 'Belongs to the World', a stunning picture book biography of Frederick Banting, co-creator of insulin, who sold the patent for $1. Lisa teamed up with Miss Diabetes to bring his story to life, turning a complex scientific breakthrough into something vibrant, human, and full of heart. We talk about their collaboration, the emotional layers behind Banting’s legacy, and why the fight for insulin access still matters, maybe more now than ever before. This one’s for the teachers, the parents, the curious kids… and anyone who’s ever felt the weight (and wonder) of living with Type 1. @lisakatz17 @missdiabetes
