Discovery

Medieval physicians routinely tasted urine and wrote discourses on their observations. Which physician originally thought that diabetes mellitus was a renal disorder because of glucose discharged in urine is apparently now lost to history. The discovery of insulin eventually led to a diabetes management focus on the pancreas. Traditional foci of therapeutic strategies for diabetes have been on enhancing endogenous insulin secretion and on improving insulin sensitivity.
