The research journey of diabetes science is among the most important chapters in human health. In ancient times, diabetes was diagnosed with the sweetness of urine; in 1921 the discovery of insulin revolutionized treatment. Later, large‑scale insulin production, oral medicines, and the glucometer enabled patients to measure their own sugar. The HbA1c test simplified the measurement of long‑term control.

Recent research has greatly improved quality of life. This research includes stem‑cell therapy, gene therapy, and modern technologies like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Together, these phases have made the diagnosis, treatment, and control of diabetes more effectively, safer, and easier. This journey stands as an inspiring testament to science, medical progress, and human perseverance.
