Episode Synopsis

Diabetes management has come a long way from being a wasting sickness/death sentence and tasting urine to measure blood glucose. This month, Liz, Amy, and Evan (an actual teacher) take a walk down history lane to talk about how diabetes management has evolved over the years. From the advent of home glucose monitoring, metformin, and insulin to CGMs and automated insulin delivery systems, things have changed a lot over the years.Instagram @diacastpodcast (https://www.instagram.com/diacastpodcast/)Facebook Diacast (https://www.facebook.com/diacastpodcast)Tweet us at @diacastEmail us at [email protected] feel free to join the wonderful diabetes communities on Reddit and Discord.r/diabetes subreddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/r/Diabetes discord:discord.gg/diabetesPatreon (help us stop losing money - plus early access, bloopers, and more!)https://patreon.com/diacastReference Linkshttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317484https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4707300/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3749019/History of Glucose Monitoring https://diabetesjournals.org/compendia/article/2018/1/1/144616/Introduction-History-of-Glucose-Monitoring100 Years of Insulin https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/fda-history-exhibits/100-years-insulinBrief History of Diabetes Meds https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4522877/History of T2 Meds https://blog.profil.com/blog/medications-for-type-2-diabetes-a-short-historical-perspectiveDovc, K., & Battelino, T.
