Ask a question about this product

Know a diabetic?
Frederick Banting’s beautiful T-shirt celebrates insulin, the drug he discovered that saves diabetic’s lives.

  • Insulin is absolutely required for all animal life and is virtually identical in nematode worms, fish and mammals. In humans, insulin deprivation leads to death in days.
  • When Frederick Banting was researching diabetes he had to sell his car in order to fund his research.
  • Banting wasn’t known as a scholar. In his original first notes he spelled diabetes as diabetus.

Our motto is: Art with a science message. This quality T-shirt is the result of a collaboration between the photographer, Leonard Gay, and the artist, Jeremy Mauney.

Should insulin actually be named isletin? Read the fascinating story of how insulin was named in T-shirt Tales.
All posters and shirts come with a T-shirt Tale, a printed certificate explaining the story of the item.
