Diabetes: Its Cause and Its Treatment With Insulin

"Diabetes: Its Cause and Its Treatment With Insulin" by Russell M. Wilder is a scientific book from the early 1900s that explains diabetes as a disease where the body struggles to process sugar correctly, covering its causes, signs, and how to deal with it, especially with the new insulin treatment. The book looks at the history of diabetes and the big steps forward in treating it because of the creation of insulin. It talks about the part the pancreas plays and how scientists like Dr. Frederick Banting found insulin. The book goes into different ways to treat diabetes, like controlling what you eat and using insulin in different amounts based on how serious the diabetes is. It underscores teaching patients about diabetes, motivating them to learn about their illness and handle it by watching what they eat and checking their health often.
