Even though there were many important discoveries relating to insulin and diabetes‚ there still was no cure or treatment for it. Individuals diagnosed with this disease died shortly after diagnosis. In the early 1900’s‚ Frederick Allen – a leading diet therapist – invented a diet specifically for diabetic patients.

The introduction of genes‚ white blood cells‚ blood groups‚ insulin‚ rubber gloves‚ aspirin‚ and vitamins and the discoveries of Pasteur‚ Charcot‚ Halsted‚ Zirm‚ Lister‚ and Koch were the starting point of an international fight against disease. A remarkable breakthrough in medicine occurred in the late 1800s through the work of Louis Pasteur

There are 3 types of diabetes: 1) Type 1 Diabetes: The body does not produce insulin. People usually develop type 1 diabetes in early adulthood or teenage years.
