Pet Diabetes Month is an international outreach and education forum seeking to provide information about diabetes in pets. Sponsored by Intervet International BV/Merck Animal Health, veterinary clinics send out flyers and brochures on pet diabetes this month, while many provide discount screenings.
The origins of diabetes can be traced back to ancient times, with mentions in Egyptian manuscripts dating back to 1552 BC. However, the term "diabetes," derived from the Greek word "to siphon," was coined in the by Aretaeus of Cappadocia (129-199 AD). Over time, medical understanding of the condition has evolved significantly. Still, it was in the 1921 discovery of insulin, through the work of Frederick Banting, Charles Best, James Collip, and John Macleod, that treatment became available. Their work began in November 1920, thus the reason for November being a focus for diabetes.
