(43293) Banting is a major outer belt asteroid discovered on April 1, 2000 by the Australian amateur astronomer John Broughton at the Reedy Creek Observatory ( IAU code 428). The observatory is located in the district of Reedy Creek the city of Gold Coast in Queensland . It had sightings of the asteroid previously on May 5 and 9, 1991 under the provisional designation 1991 XP 2 at the Japanese observatory near Kushiro and on October 4 and 5, 1996 (1996 TC 50 ) at the La Silla observatory given to the European Southern Observatory in Chile .
The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 10.326 (± 0.317) km and the albedo to be 0.055 (± 0.014).
(43293) Banting was named on February 19, 2006 after the Canadian doctor Frederick Banting, who, along with Charles Best, is considered to be the co-discoverer of insulin in humans. Frederick Banting and John James Rickard Macleod received the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine . As early as 1973, a lunar crater on the northern front of the moon was named after Banting: Banting lunar crater .
