This video is a special one and I made it specifically for World Diabetes Day, which happens every year on November 14. Diabetes was originally diagnosed by tasting the urine of patients. In diabetics, the blood-sugar level is often extremely high and some of it spills over into the urine. So, if the urine tasted sweet, the person was likely diabetic.
This was the main way to test for diabetes for a long time, until there was a breakthrough in 1841 by Karl Trommer. From there, the technology was continually improved and today we have blood glucose meters. I think that this technological journey is extremely interesting, and I hope that you guys agree with me after watching the video.
What I also think is cool, is that many of the breakthroughs along the way are still useful today for other applications. The Fehling's and Benedict solutions are still routinely used in analytical chemistry, and the test strips are also useful.

Buddhist monks (Mahayana Tradition) would get a urine sample from a patient and perform simple tests on it. They would smell it, froth it with a whisk to see how long the bubbles would remain, and then pour it on the ground to see if the ants were interested in it. The ants would be interested in sugar in the urine, indicating diabetes.

The myth about humans tasting grouhs p33 is also faIse and created by the ClA (obvs no human would be effed up enough to taste test such grouhs thing) and humans' p33 in not sweet at all and their p33 steen ks -- only my p33 is sweet and has no smeII or a sweet smeII, and the ClA probably created this myth based on the taste tests their male agents did on my p33 without my knowledge, as then they came up with the idea of creating misinformation about p33 tasting sweet and about things that never happened in the past...

And, I eat more sugar than anyone else, so my p33 has a lot of sugar in it (it even smeIIs sweet and probably tastes sweet, unlike humans' p33) but, I have no diabetes, so having sugar/glucose in p33 does not indicate diabetes at all -- blood tests are the only truly accurate tests for diabetes!

Aren't monks supposed to be respectful to all beings, including insects? That sounds like misinformation created by the ClA, as I don't think that monks would do such beyond awfeI thing to insects, so it's probably faIse, just as the myth they made about those faIse 'taste' tests, yukk -- they control all info and all public figures and all monks, and it would be beyond kreemineI if the ClA put such beyond wrong ideas in their h and then to allow them to disrespect/degrade animals in the most awfeI way... It's very easy for them to fake a few articles and videos, just to see humans' reaction to that nonsense.

@@MeAMoose Yeah they do lag behind and in theory, they are less accurate but in practice, it isn't an issue at all. The new CGMs are incredibly accurate (especially the newer G6) and my former diabetes clinic is actually considering moving away from A1Cs and solely using data from Dexcom CGMs. I can't speak for other CGMs but I rely 100% on my dexcom along with my insulin pump a combination which works incredibly well.

Personal insulin pumps have been around for quite a long time actually. My mother first got one around 15 years ago. They used to be almost completely manual where you have to calculate the amount of insulin based on carbohydrate intake. Now she Medtronic pump she has continuously monitors blood sugar and delivers insulin as needed. It wirelessly connects to a separate display for control and will anticipate the patterns, lag and lead of the body's blood sugar levels. The 'electronic pancreas' allows one to go from having to check blood sugar and having insulin shots three times a day to basically forgetting about it until you have to change the reservoir every few days.

Diabetic viewer here. Just wanted to thank you for making this. I was diagnosed with type 2 a few years ago. I've also watched my Mom deal with having it for almost 20 years, so it's really interesting and even comforting to learn about the chemistry of glucose testing. I find the more you learn about something like this, the less mystery there is, it becomes less intimidating. It's much easier to be scared of something if you don't understand it. And videos like this help a lot with that. Thanks very much for the time and great amount of effort you put into this video and indeed your channel as a whole. I appreciate you sharing your passion with us and allowing us to learn more about the wonderful world of chemistry. Best wishes to you and to all other viewers as well. Cheers.

Yet another high quality, entertaining and informative video! Especially interesting for me as one of my best friends has had Type 1 Diabetes since I've met him, which is like when we were 3 years old. Because I was so used to his testing I never really questioned how it worked! A shame because this process is highly interesting. So thank you for your video, I'm looking forward to the next one.

After watching this video, I remember my mom doing this test with her urine as lab tests were expensive. The testing solution would be sold in a bottle and you had to mix your urine with it and heat it up. I remember it becoming red or yellow depending on how bad her diabetes was. I am not sure but it was probably the third solution.

Being a Medical Lab Tech this was very enjoyable to watch. also, super educational! Great job my friend you have defined and educated very well. All of the information was accurate and says a lot about your character! A lot of our tests that we run in the lab are our best educated guess. However, my colleagues and I have been through enough school and have enough experience that these guesses are extremely accurate and can be used for medical diagnosis.

Type 1 Diabetic here... I often find videos about Diabetes to be very generalizing, especially stating type 2 Diabetes as the only form of Diabetes, which sadly makes conversations with others about Diabetes to be quite cumbersome. But your video is (leaving the chemical stuff aside) clearly among the best explanations I've ever come across, clearly distinguishing between type 1 and 2 (well there are some more but super rare) and giving a very neutral but true overview of the history of research and current treatment forms. Excellent! I hope there will be more videos about Diabetes but I do understand that most related topics are too far into bio-chemistry which I think you don't want to pursue on this channel. If you need any supplies shoot me a message, I've got loads of spare stuff laying around here.

When I was younger (cough) I did taste it once in a while when my blood glucose was high. It was sweet and perfectly transparent (lots of water, negligible amount of urobilin whatsoever colourful). Nowadays my meter is Abbott Diabetes Care's "FreeStyle Libre" (I know, the name right :D) which is placed in either shoulder on the side and kept there for 2 weeks and then replaced with another one. I recognized 15:54 and 16:05 the test strips and the meter, I've used that :D actually I've had more than 10 meters so far I think, I got diabetes in 1997 and I was born 1995 -- I'm lucky it wasn't 1950, I could be dead by now! The progress has been huge... I always thought the modern average blood meter somehow distinguished between molecules of certain size in the blood by electrical current (somebody told me that once :o), so thank you for your video and enlightening me on this too. I love your videos! I'm planning to do some searching for my "proteins and enzymes"-course essay on long- and short-acting insulins; how are they made act during the timeline they do (and how do they act with the membranes etc. in the first place)? There's a new ultra-short-acting insulin coming (Fiasp (R)) that's NovoRapid(R) based and has additional vitamin B and amino acid arginine, both of which are water-soluble like the hormone itself (in aspart short-acting insulines such as NovoRapid that I'm now using, only one amino acid has been changed to make it faster-acting, says Wikipedia); maybe water solubility somehow makes it being absorbed faster from the adipose tissue that it's being injected in, into bloodstream (target)? (insulin is always being injected in "fat" tissue) But if it's that simple, how come they haven't done it before? So there has to be a signal mechanism / transport chain etc. arginine and vitamin B are effecting... maybe? Either way, it's fascinating... and how are long-acting insulins managed to work so smoothly and consistently over a long period of time? (12 or 24 hours pretty smoothly)? Wikipedia says (the best source) that arginine (basic) shifts the isoelectric pH point up so less is being absorbed right away in physiological pH, which has been utilized in long-acting insulins; but why has short-acting Fiasp been blessed with extra arginine then? I should go to sleep... :D clock is 0:43
