  1. History of Diabetes

  2. History of Diabetes With its description as a lifestyle-related disorder, diabetes may seem to be an affliction of modern times; a result of easy living, 21st-century conveniences like the internet, packaged foods, etc. While diabetes has definitely mushroomed in these recent times, there are references to the disease dating back centuries. Read More

  3. Early Origins of Diabetes The earliest mention of diabetes comes in the form of a papyrus scroll recorded by physician Hesy-Ra back in 1552 BC. Around the same time, a few other healers, Sushruta, Arataeus, and Thomas Willis, were known to be working on a treatment for diabetes. Other treatments of the time included alcohol and over-eating. These were prescribed to balance the loss of fluids, weight, etc. When that didn’t work, healers were also known to advise starvation diets. Read More

  4. Discovery of Other Symptoms & Type 1 Diabetes Moving down the centuries to 980 AD, there is a record of a Persian healer, Avicenna who gave a detailed account of diabetes mellitus, in which he described symptoms like frequent urination, and decline of sexual functions Read More

  5. Role of the Pancreas Then in 1889, Joseph von Mering & Oskar Minkowski identified the role of the pancreas in diabetes. They appear to have done this through a rather brutal process of elimination: they found that when the pancreas was removed from healthy dogs, they developed the symptoms of diabetes. Read More

  6. Discovery of Insulin Finally, in 1910 the role of insulin was identified by Sir Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer. He gave it the name insulin—from the Latin word insula, meaning island. Read More

  7. Use of Insulin as Medication In 1920, taking Mering and Minkowski’s discovery forward, two scientists, Sir Fredrick Grant Banting and Charles Herbert Best used an extract from the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas to successfully reverse induced diabetes in dogs—a major relief for canines.

  8. Categorizing Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes In 1936, Sir Harold Percival Himsworth published a treatise in which type 1 and type 2 were identified as different forms of the same disease. It is the first recorded instance of its kind. Read More
