Abstract

When it comes to the topic of diabetes, the first thing that comes to mind is “diabetes mellitus.” Another form of diabetes is diabetes insipidus, with different disease mechanisms that do not fall within this chapter’s scope. Before we start discussing what diabetes is, let us first dig deep into history and find out how diabetes got its name and when people first knew about this disease. From various sources, we know that diabetes was known to ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Indians. The word mellitus is a Latin word meaning sweet, and Greeks used the term mellitus to define something sweet. The Greeks knew about honey, which they called mellita; hence, the name mellitus comes from this term. Ancient Greeks used to taste urine as a method to test for diabetes. They also noticed that people with sweet urine tend to drink more fluids, and the fluid almost gets out of the body immediately like a siphon. They knew siphon by the term diabetes, and from there, we got the name “diabetes mellitus.” The earliest record, written around 1500 BC, of diabetes we got is from Ebers papyrus, which was excavated from graves in Thebes, an ancient Egyptian city, around 1862 AD. Egyptologist Georg Ebers published the findings from the papyrus in 1874 AD. Diabetes was also known to Indians at around the same time by another name—“madhumeha,” which roughly translates to honey urine. Indian physicians by that time also noticed that urine from such patients attracted flies and ants, thereby devising the first clinical test for diabetes.
