Insulin

Michael Langan’s narration is nothing short of superb, imbuing each sentence with a blend of awe and urgency. His ability to differentiate between historical figures and modern-day patients makes the story dynamic and accessible. The pacing is deliberate yet gripping, ensuring that even the most complex scientific concepts are understandable. However, I found myself wishing for slightly more emphasis on the emotional journey of those living with diabetes during insulin’s early days—perhaps a few moments where Langan could have slowed down to capture the raw fear and hope in their voices. Despite this minor critique, ‘Insulin’ remains an essential listen for anyone fascinated by medical history or the personal impact of scientific breakthroughs.
