History of Diabetes - 4 Facts About This Diabetes

Diabetes is a complex metabolic disease. This disorder usually involves the inability of the body to produce the right amount of insulin it needs. The history of diabetes is something that many people are wondering about. In order for you to do all the necessary precautionary measures, you need to educate yourself on what the disease is and how you can protect yourself from it.

Historical Facts about Diabetes


1. The history of diabetes can be traced back sometime in the 1940s

The word "diabetes" first came out in some of the English medical journals used by the doctors who were practicing that time. Diabetes was inspired by the word "diabainein" which means to siphon. According to the scholars, the word was used to describe how the condition presents itself to the patient. If a person has diabetes, he or she will always feel the urge to urinate. It is like you are siphoning the urine out of your body, thus the term.

2. In 1945, a person named Thomas Willis added the word "mellitus".

This word is used to describe the sweet scent and taste of the urine of a diabetic patient

The Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks, Indians, and Persians were the ones who discovered that patients with diabetes have sweet urine. Meanwhile, in 1776, Matthew Dobson claimed that diabetics have sweet urine because their urine contains high levels of sugar.

3. Sushruta has made a significant contribution to the history of diabetes.

He claimed that the disease can be attributed to leading sedentary lifestyles. Because of that, certain population groups particularly the Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans have started to campaign for healthier lifestyles. They believe that this will help them fight away the "sugar urine disease."

4. The Persians also had contributions to the history of diabetes during medieval era

All their researches about the disease were detailed in their journal titled "The Canon of Medicine." The study carefully described all the complexities of diabetes. Moreover, they were able to include several types of diabetes that they have discovered during the course of their study as well as possible treatments which include the use of herbs like zedoary seeds, trigonella, and lupine.

The middle ages paved the way for the discovery of treatment options. Some of the notable persons who were able to discover a cure through experimentation were Oskar Minkowski, Edward Albery Sharpey Schafer. This is the time wherein insulin was first discovered as a possible cure for diabetes.

Since the start of history of diabetes, many have realized the difficulties and complexes of having the disease. From this day forward, doctors are closely monitoring their patients and giving out useful pieces of advices that will help them ward off this disorder.

  3. Of a truth there is no known pharmaceutical cure for Diabetes, but the good news is 'Diabetes is cured naturally by herbal medicine and with the right herbal proportion.
    Doctors told my husband no cure, and still advised him not to research that he won't succeed and never offer him a solution. Thanks to the media and internet where I found Dr Utu @ drutuherbalcure@gmail.com who is an African Roots and Herbal practitioner. I saw testimonials and we decided to give it a trial and thank God today my husband is Diabetes-free and he had said bye to pharmaceutical drugs for good.
