Abstract

Diabetes Disorder, Its Prevention, Treatment & Advances

Syed Ishrat Ali Kazmi

The term Diabetes Mellitus comes from the Greek word "Diabetes" (to siphon or pass through) and the Latin word "mellitus" (honey or sweet). Diabetes Mellitus is the Metabolic Disorder. Over 3,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians mentioned a condition that appears to have been type 1 diabetes. It featured excessive urination, thirst, and weight loss. 
In ancient India, people discovered that they could use ants to test for diabetes by presenting urine to them. If the ants came to the urine, this was a sign that it contained high sugar levels. They called the condition “madhumeha”, meaning honey urine. During the third century B.C.E., Apollonius of Memphis mentioned the term "diabetes," which may have been its earliest reference. 
In 1776, Matthew Dobson confirmed that the urine of people with diabetes could have a sweet taste. According to an article that the journal Medical Observations and Enquiries published, he measured the glucose in urine and found that it was high in people with diabetes.
