Fue all\u00ed en donde le dijeron por primera vez que la qu\u00edmica no era un lugar para mujeres. Se desanim\u00f3 tanto que cambi\u00f3 su especialidad a biolog\u00eda.

Cuando aparece la diabetes, el cuerpo no puede producir la insulina necesaria. Si no se trata, puede provocar cetoacidosis, un estado en el que la sangre se vuelve como un \u00e1cido para el cuerpo, lo que puede provocar que los \u00f3rganos fallen y que el cuerpo inevitablemente se apague.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A trav\u00e9s de su descubrimiento, permiti\u00f3 que cambiara la producci\u00f3n masiva de insulina, brindando m\u00e1s acceso al medicamento a mayor escala.
