• A breakthrough came in 1889 when Oskar Minkowski and Josef von Mering stated that pancreactectomy in dogs triggered severe diabetes.
• In 1869, Paul Langerhans described, ”cell collections ”, which were pestered out from pancreatic tissue.
• In 1893, Gustave Languesse named these “clusters” as “Islets of Langerhans”.
• Edvard von Jaeger was first to describe diabetic retinopathy.
• In 1885, the physician, Fredrich Pavy gave description of neuropathic symptoms.
• The starvation regimen of Fredrich Madison Allen, defined by Joslin in 1915, was ultimate advance since Rollo’s time.
• In 1921,Banting, Best, Macleod and Collip discovered insulin in acid-ethanol extracts of pancreas.

Fuel Metabolism in Normal Pregnancy
The fuel metabolism in normal (non-diabetic) pregnancy is characterized by facilitated insulin action during first half of pregnancy and diabetogenic strain during 2nd half 7.
In early weeks, fasting insulin concentration increases as does glucose stimulated insulin release reaching peak at 18th-20th week5. Insulin, being an anabolic and anti – catabolic hormone, favors tissue glycogen storage, precludes generation of glucose from liver and elevates peripheral glucose consumption. The net effect of these anabolic changes is decline in fasting plasma glucose by 10% compared to non-pregnancy fasting
