I think it was this book, but I think there was another I saw in the past as well. The Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, published in 1923 https://archive.org/details/treatmentofdiabee3josl/mode/1up > (pg 427) 2. Carbohydrate.— The total carbohydrate in the diet of diabetic patients is almost invariably restricted, and even with insulin the quantity prescribed seldom exceeds 100 grams There is more stuff, but I’m on my phone now, so it’s hard to go through. I also ran across this: https://www.wfmp.ca/post/diabetes-a-short-history >In the 1700s & 1800s, physicians began to realize that dietary changes could help manage diabetes. Patients were advised to do things like eat only the fat and meat of animals. During the Franco-Prussian war, Dr. Apollinaire noted that his diabetic patients' symptoms improved due to war rationing. |
