[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1876859, member: 374531"] There's a couple of books worth a browse if you're interested in the history of it, both on kindle: Breakthrough, by Thea Cooper. Mainly about the discovery of insulin but quite a lot on pre-discovery treatment. Diabetes: The Biography, by Robert Tattersall That last one has got this quote from Elliot Joslin which always makes me smile: "I must say that I do admire the backbone and the brains of the average diabetic and I truly believe on the whole they are superior to the common run of people and therefore their good qualities merit cultivation. Second, I think they are less apt to drink, far less likely to have syphilis or gonorrhea, and distinctly less likely to have, what is anathema to me, 'nervous prostration and nerves.'" [/QUOTE]
