About insulin
The treatment of diabetes mellitus, in spite of numerous attempts to use various medicines, remains to this day strictly diætic, and in severe cases of diabetes the diet, as it is known, does not lead to reduction of hyperglycaemia, does not stop glycosuria, and the patient remains under constant threat of diabetic coma, at the appearance of which our therapy most often does not give results. Such a state of affairs in the treatment of diabetes is connected with our very imperfect ideas about the essence of the processes underlying the disease, and if the chemical and biological deviations in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats in diabetes are more or less studied, then the pathogenesis of this disease remains largely unexplained.
