Lo cierto es que este concepto ha sido construido a lo largo de los años, desde épocas ancestrales, para describir un fenómeno patológico del cual aún no se tenía mucho conocimiento. A partir de ello, resulta curioso y útil comprender las connotaciones que le han dado al término los distintos pensadores y científicos a través de una somera investigación sobre lo ya publicado en distintos textos científicos, con el fin de comprender a la diabetes mellitus no solo como una enfermedad con sus consecuentes subclasificaciones, sino como un fenómeno histórico que ha cambiado el curso de la humanidad y de la práctica médica hasta la actualidad. Hay registros de la existencia de la diabetes mellitus desde alrededor del 1500 a.C. que provienen de distintas culturas como la hindú, la egipcia, la griega, la china, entre otras. Con el paso de los años se logró reconocer y describir la signo-sintomatología que la caracteriza, pero hubo dificultades para identificar las causas responsables de este cuadro. El amplio estudio de este padecimiento por diversos personajes históricos ha logrado establecer distintas entidades y formas de manifestación, como la diabetes tipo 1 y tipo 2, diabetes insípida, etc., que hasta la fecha sufre modificaciones de acuerdo con los nuevos hallazgos científicos.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Very frequently in medical practice, reference is made to the term diabetes mellitus, but we hardly ask ourselves its etymological or historical origin, since it does not correspond to words of the English or Spanish language. The truth is that this concept has been built over the years, since ancient times, to describe a pathological phenomenon that was not yet widely known. From this, it is curious and useful to understand the connotations that different thinkers and scientists have given to the term through a brief investigation of what has already been published in different scientific texts, in order to understand diabetes mellitus not only as a disease with its consequent subclassifications, but as a historical phenomenon that has changed the course of humanity and medical practice to the present. There are records of the existence of diabetes mellitus from around 1500 BC. that come from different cultures such as Hindu, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, among others. Over the years, it was possible to recognize and describe the signs and symptoms that characterize it, but there were difficulties in identifying the causes responsible for this condition. The extensive study of this condition by various historical figures has managed to establish different entities and forms of manifestation, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes, diabetes insipidus, etc., which to date has undergone modifications according to new scientific findings.]]></p></abstract>
