Diagnosis - A urine sample is taken and tested for components present. If excess sugar is found in the urine sample, it can be concluded that the patient has diabetes. Treatment - A vigorous alkaline-sponge bath must be taken every day. Sugar of lead is prescribed to restrict urine flow. If that does not work, creosote or opium will be diagnosed. A sugar free diet is recommended. Resist the urges to drink when feeling thirsty. -
Insulin discovery
Fredrick Banting discovers insulin and its role in diabetes. This leads to the successful administration of insulin in humans. -
Insulin discovery
Fredrick Banting discovers insulin, which later develops into the injection of insulin into humans for treatment. -

Diagnosis - a physical examination is performed. This includes eye and foot checks in the scenario of a patient showing symptoms of diabetes.The results of a diabetic will result in having clouds around retinal arteries and weaker heart rate around the feet. A urine sample is also taken and tested, showing high glucose levels. Treatment - patients are put on a special diet with specific amounts of protein, fat, and carbs. Insulin will also be taken via injection. Alcohol is to be avoided. -

diagnosis - a physical examination is performed. This includes a thorough examination of the eyes, resulting in the detection of clouds around retinal arteries. This also includes a foot examination, resulting in the detection of a weaker heart rate in the feet. A urine sample is taken and tested, showing high glucose levels. Treatment - patients are put on a special diet with specific amounts of protein, fat and carbs. Insulin will be injected regularly -
1998
diagnosis - urine is sent to the lab for urinalysis. If the patient is diabetic, the results will show high levels of glucose and ketones. This identifies type 1 diabetes treatment - insulin and fluids are injected immediately after diagnosis. Glucose, potassium, and electrolyte levels are monitored. After this, insulin will be injected daily and the patient will be closely monitored and put on a special diet. -
