Diabetes - History

A Brief History of Diabetes

Diabetes as a known condition has been around since ancient times. Here is a brief timeline of the disease:

1552 BC: The physician Hesy-Ra wrote the first mention of a symptom of diabetes (frequent urination) on Egyptian papyrus.

250 BC: Apollonius of Memphis coined the term diabetes.

11th century AD: The word mellitus—Latin for honey—was added to the term diabetes. At the time, diabetes was diagnosed by tasting the urine to see if it was sweet.

The 1800s: A test was developed to detect sugar in the urine.

The early 1900s: Several diabetes diet treatments were rolled out. These included a whiskey and black coffee "cleanse" followed by a restrictive diet (often leading to starvation) and an "oat-cure," consisting of frequent doses of 1:1 oats to butter mixture.

1929: Insulin was produced and distributed for the first time.

1950: The diabetic food exchange system was first developed.

1959: Type 1 and type 2 diabetes were distinguished and categorized.

If the calculator shows a high risk, a health professional will discuss lifestyle adjustments and other measures that may prevent an adverse event. People undergoing treatment for a cardiovascular condition will probably not use a calculator, as they are already managing their risks through treatment. Measurabl...
