[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1458645, member: 44622"] Are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin. Diabetes has been known about for possibly thousands of years and was called the pissing disease. Diabetes means syphon and mellitus means sweet. It was observed that if you ****** on the ground then ants would gather round it. John Rollo (d.1809) was the surgeon general of the Royal Artillery and he treated patients with what he called the meat diet. Claude Bernard (1813-1878) was a French vivisectionist who carried out many experiments and gave lectures in Paris. Among his interests were the pancreas and the liver. He found a liver, accidentally left on the workbench overnight manufactured sugar. A Dr. William Harvey (not the blood circulation one) attended some of these lectures and brought the knowledge home to 2 Soho Square where he lived. He treated a patient called William Banting who was so impressed with the result that he wrote a leaflet and sold it for sixpence a time. It ran to four editions and in the last one he gave credit to Dr. Harvey. In parts of the world (notably South Africa) it is still referred to as the Banting Diet. This was the way to treat diabetics in the old days until Ancel Keyes upset the apple cart. EDIT: The Banting referred to above is not the same person who showed that injecting animal insulin into patients was a good idea. Another Banting entirely and not contemporary with each other.
