Until the discovery of insulin by Banting and Best in 1922, diabetes had a high mortality rate. Since then regular administration of the drug has brought it under control. Nevertheless it is not an ideal drug, in that it has to be injected and because of the incidence of insulin resistance. There is, therefore, a need for alternative forms of treatment and in recent years interest has centred on the possibilities of vanadium salts.
在1922年班廷和贝斯特发现胰岛素之前，糖尿病的死亡率很高。从那时起，定期注射这种药物已使其得到控制。然而，它并不是一种理想的药物，因为它必须注射，而且存在胰岛素抵抗的情况。因此，需要其他治疗方式，近年来人们的兴趣集中在钒盐的可能性上。
