ABSTRACT
Diabetes has been known to the physicians for over 2500 years. Understanding the pathophysiology and management of the disease has come only in the last 75 years. Until about 100 years ago, diabetes was considered an incurable disease with inevitable death as the end result; in the same category as AIDS in the present era. This essay details the trials and tribulations of physicians of the bygone days
