History of Diabetes Mellitus. From 1877 to the present. January 13, 2017

This book is re-print of original work that i  Public Domain in the United states of America. It is available in Amazon and cost just $27.16 together with shipping to NYC. The book is less then 200 pages. Very easy to read. But it is not easy-to-read book that our education for diabetics very rich in. It is professional book, Scholar select.
Diabetes Mellitus 
Its History, Chemestry, Anatomy, Pathology. Physiology, and Treatment
 by William Morgan.  1877
"The following treatise has been undertaken with the view of supplying a want long needed in the field of advanced medicine - namely, a practical exposition of one of the most obscure and intractable disorders that can afflict the human body." W.M. 1877
Diabetes Definition:
 W.M. back in 1877 defined diabetes as "secretion of an inordinate quantity of sweet-teasing, valet-smelling urine; accompanied with great thirst, dryness of skin, extreme debility, and general emaciation."
ADA define diabetes as  type 1 diabetes when body does not produce insulin, and type 2 diabetes when body does not use insulin properly.
On first glance it can be seen there are big difference and understanding of diabetes is far ahead then it was seen back to 1877. But regardless how does it seems from first glance, the understanding of diabetes did not go ahead, but fall back.  ADA define of diabetes far down then it was in 1877. In 1877 understanding of diabetes was based on observation. In 21st Century  diabetes defined by money making philosophy that treatment of this medical condition is very profitable and long standing. It takes many years to treat victim before finally body give up not able to fight with very sophisticated medical treatment progress. With proper treatment diabetic in present time can be lasted up to 10 years. Back in 1877 diabetics did not have that opportunity. Life was short, painful, and miserable.
This took many years since diagnose of diabetes was based on the  sweetness of urine. In present time diagnose of diabetes based on level of sugar in blood, which provide early detection of diabetes. Early detection give advantage in treatment before disease will claim its victim. Our medical care uses this advantage to collect profit. In his book W.M. discuses cases when diabetes was cured with diet. In present time treatment for diabetics type 2 based on diet and intensive work outs. The difference is, today it is possible to follow the person if treatment really work or not. In past, there were no way to keep info and follow patient in long term. So, medical care present that 11 people were cured from diabetes type 2 with Starvation diet, but no one follow up after, how that 'cured' people live right now? Do they diabetes-free, or they already relapsed back to the point of where they where before they were cured?
I really recommend to spend money and buy this book. It is not that it help with diabetes cure or treatment. But it is very helpful with understanding the history of diabetes development. That's right, in present time we 'develop diabetes type 2'. In past W.M. present that diabetes progress from one level to another. 
In present time we are, diabetics type 2, have 'non-alcoholic fatty liver'. In W.M. book highly enlarged  liver presented as result of water collected in the organ. Water, not fat. In diabetics liver and kidney enlarged, as well as the middle area. In 1877 obesity was the result of diabetes. In present time we brainwashed that diabetes resulted by obesity.
Today we develop amputations. In past there were no amputations. Diabetics died long before gangrene come to collect its toll.
I just got this book, just started to read it. It is really interesting to see progress to regress in diabetes treatment.
Before insulin discovery treatment with starvation diet was considered just opportunity to buy the time till finally treatment would be discovered. In present time Starvation Diet presented by ADA as "Cure For Diabetics Type 2". High progress back to cave.
