Man who Invented Diabetes Treatment. Cause of Diabetes. December 23, 2018

The underlying cause of diabetes is usually considered to be a derangement in one of the functions of the pancreas. This gland, in animal known as the sweetbread. which lies behind the stomach near the liver. it discharges into the bowel the most important digestive juice of any gland in body, and this juice is capable of digesting all kind of food.  Strangely enough this digestive action of the pancreas remains undisturbed in diabetes. The fault with the pancreas in diabetes concerns that function of the gland which regulates the body's use of sugar formed from the food. 

There are many different attempts were used to treat diabetics by feeding diabetics patients the pancreas of animals, by the use of extracts from the gland, and even by applying portion of pancreas from animals under diabetic's skin. Nothing worked.
The book published in 1919, so the insulin still not discovered yet, and any attempts to find cure for diabetes were worth to try. What is important, at that time the observation that diabetics have larger body's size where made.

Granted there is a natural tendency of diabetes in certain individuals, this develops into the actual disease most commonly when the body is overfed. Approximately 60% of a recent series of 100 diabetic cases showed obesity.

      Now there is the table how obesity distributed  as diabetics aged. Then older diabetic then more extra pounds body carry. Easy to see, it is obesity and overeating why diabetic developed diabetes. It is still difficult to see that diabetes carry on extra pounds because of function of pancreas. It is not possible to see. So, because of body size it is obvious, diabetic is overeating. Simple and rude. Easy to blame victim why one is suffer. Even easy to say, one does not suffer but die irresponsibly and leave children behind. 
      What Dr. Joslin fail to see that in every hospital at that time there were wards about 100 beds. Diabetic children in coma. Those are children of usually poor and working man. those who could afford nurse was at home under care of family and nurse, adult and children alike. What Dr. Joslin pointed out, diabetes is rare in children. Really? Where his observation come from? How it is possible to trust in these observations?
    He is The Man. The Doctor. He invented treatment for diabetics. 100 years after 95% of diabetics still suffer under these treatment and die timelessly. It is widely known that diabetes type 2 caused by obesity. It is absolutely not known that obesity caused by diabetes. The fact that diabetic's pancreas fail to function properly is not known for the 95% of doctors. They still treat diabetics with first line of treatment, life style modifications, diet and exercise. 100 years after insulin discovery treatment still not available for diabetics. There are no studies how to use insulin, how to stop diabetes to be progressive, number 7 killer in America.
    Also it is not known how many chronicle   medical conditions can be treated when diabetes taken under tight control. Even more then that, today it is presented that tight control is not needed. Diabetics would suffer under tight blood sugar control. 100 years ago Dr. Joslin insisted that only tight control sugar in urine can treat diabetic effectively. Treatment was strict diet, down to 400 calories for adult diabetics, men or women alike, and exercise. What else can reduce obesity? This way to treat ill patient is best at all. Very low calorie intake was mixed with fasting one, two and more days. Really, how this treatment can be seen as treatment? Is not this looks like torture? 
    Dr. Joslin highly praise very famous in his time Dr. F. Allen. He was known as Dr. Death, or Dr. Starvation. But even Dr. F. Allen when he was asked if his treatment would heal diabetic answered: "No. But we can buy time till cure would be discovered." Now, almost 100 years after insulin discovery 95% of diabetic population treated with cruelty and abuse that we developed diabetes because of our symptom of diabetes, Obesity.
     How it is right or wrong? Well, all diabetics with progressed condition usually obese. Not every one obese person is diabetic. Every one human who exposed to cold water more then 10 min will die. So, it is obvious that cold water is fatal for human body. If not every one obese person is diabetic then there is no evidence that obesity caused diabetes. More obvious that diabetes caused obesity.
      Dr. Joslin did not like this logic. The idea that overeating is cause of diabetes suited him better.
