Diabetes Type 1 Symptoms

Paracelsus - born with the name Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, 11 November or 17 December 1493 – 24 September 1541) was a Swiss German Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist. He founded the discipline of toxicology. He is also known as a revolutionary for insisting upon using observations of nature, rather than looking to ancient texts, in open and radical defiance of medical practice of his day. He is also credited for giving zinc its name, calling it zincum. Modern psychology often also credits him for being the first to note that some diseases are rooted in psychological illness. WikipediaThe origin word of "diabetes" is "diabere" which has meaning "syphon" or "tube" to transfer liquid from one to other place. Its similar to the diabetes symptom which is frequent urination or excessive urination. Diabetes has been known before the Century, around 1500 year BC, in Egypt.  Then around 30 BC, Celsus or Paracelsus also found a disease that has same symptom like diabetes has. In that time, they do not yet named the disease, it only called as "Strange disease".

Two hundreds years later, Areteaus named the disease with name "diabetes". He describe a diabetes as dissolution of the flesh and limbs into urine fluid.

Aretaeus, is one of the most celebrated of the ancient Greek physicians, of whose life, however, few particulars are known. There is some uncertainty regarding both his age and country, but it seems probable that he practised in the 1st century CE, during the reign of Nero or Vespasian. He is generally styled "the Cappadocian". Aretaeus wrote in Ionic Greek a general treatise on diseases, which is still extant. The valuable book displays great accuracy in the detail of symptoms, and in seizing the diagnostic character of diseases. In his practice he followed for the most part the method of Hippocrates, but he paid less attention to what have been styled "the natural actions" of the system; and, contrary to the practice of the Father of Medicine, he did not hesitate to attempt to counteract them, when they appeared to him to be injurious. One disease he described was later known as Celiac Disease and is common in the world today.
Diabetes has main symptoms which are
