Abstract

According to the first point of view about the physiopathology and management of type 1diabetes, it seems to be easy but as we go deep into its study the less it seems to be known. Koch's postulates are not followed in all the cases of type 1 diabetes mellitus, and this is concluded after knowing more about the disease's pathogenesis. The main cause of disease nowadays is the surroundings, environmental factors, genome, metabolism, and immune system that varies in different individuals. But according to ancient research, it was considered like a localized autoimmune disorder in which beta cells producing insulin are destroyed. During ancient times before giving type 1 diabetes recognition of a complaint, people linked the symptoms of the complaint like inordinate urination, inordinate thirst, and the agreeableness of the urine that attract the ants, and also it was noted on by the croakers and latterly it was nominated Type 1 Diabetes. Since it was a new term for the people of ancient times, they assumed type 1 diabetes to be a fatal complaint as they had no idea about the history and cause of the disease and because of this partial knowledge the cases suffering from the complaint failed from acute complications. The involvement of the pancreas in type 1 diabetes was proved in the time 1889. After the time when the pancreas part was proved the scientists plant out that beast insulin can be utilized in the treatment of complaint of the subject, and they concluded that diabetes is not fatal it is just a bare issue of life.
