The first case of diabetes was in 1552 B.C.. In 150 AD a Greek physician described what is now diabetes as the melting of flesh into urine. Centuries after this they used to drink the patience urine and saw if it was sweet you had it and sour you did not have diabetes. In 1675 they added the word mellitus added to the word diabetes that its meaning honey and the word diabetes means siphon. Another meaning for diabetes is making too much urine.
Treatment in the early years they knew that this was going to be a problem so they prescribed exercise usually horse riding because would cause you to have to go the bathroom. Other things they did was made people eat only the fat out of an animal or consume a large amount of sugar. In the early 1890's a French physician named Apollinaire Bouchardat developed some diets like the Potato Theory and the oat-cure and the starvation diet. In 1916 a scientist Elliott Joslin established himself as one of the world's top experts of diabetes. Still today the use Elliott's finding on how to try and treat diabetes.
The first creation of insulin was in France 1889 and they made good start on finding an insulin. Two other scientists found out it could help diabetes if they injected in your pancreas. In 1921 they did test on animals and saw if their insulin would work. So in 1922 the first test on a human was a 14 year old boy he was about dead but the treatment saved his life. Later that year they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine the Following year.
Now today we have more technology to get the diseases out of people. People don't want to cure diseases because it is better money to treat a disease rather cure it. All they want is more money like with any disease they probably could cure it but people want to have as much money as they can. I think this is wrong to let people suffer just for money I think someone should stand up and say something or try to make something to safe all the people that are dead because of these diseases. I think someone has a plan for our life I think we're should just play the hand we are dealt and just make the best of it.
