How does the word diabetes get its name?

Answer 1

I think you meant to say "How did the disease diabetes get its name?" but no matter. I believe the name diabetes comes from the Greek word diabainen, which means to pass through (that could be like a siphon). Hipprocrates coined the name because of the diabetic characteristic of excessive excretion of urine.

Answer 5

Diabetes mellitus (the complete name) derives from the Greek for 'sweet urine' and yes you guessed it the ancient physician actually tasted the urine. It may seem difficult to believe but physicians have been tasting body fluids, extracts, and quite literally samples of the tissues of various organs since antiquity. The latter is the origin of the 'modern' treatment of thyroid disorders for instance. Nonetheless - despite 30 years in matters medical - I have yet to taste anything of that sort.

Answer 6

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
