HOW FASTING HELPS WITH DIABETES

1.December 1916

Boston pathologist Elliott Joslin compiles 1,000 of his own cases and creates the textbook The Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus. In it he reports that 'the mortality of patients was approximately 20 per cent lower than for the previous year', due to 'the introduction of fasting and the emphasis on regular exercise.' This book and Joslin's subsequent research over the next five decades establishes his reputation as one of the world's leading expert in diabetes.

Dr. Frederick Allen of the Rockefeller Institute in New York publishes his Total Dietary Regulations in the Treatment of Diabetes that introduces a therapy of strict dieting – dubbed the 'starvation treatment' –- as a way to manage diabetes.
