The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 726: What would happen if the ancients got diabetes a hundred years ago? Sima Xiangru: It’s over, it’s right!
[In 1918, an 11-year-old American girl named Elizabeth returned home. ]

[As soon as I got home, I started looking for water to drink. ]

[The family quickly poured her a glass of water. ]

[After she drank it in big gulps, she ordered another large glass.]

[After another big drink, I finally felt a little better. ]

【But not long after, the desperate thirst came back again. 】

[I can only continue to drink water. ]

[In the following months, the girl was not only often thirsty, but also had a very good appetite.]

【But no matter how much I eat, I won’t gain weight. 】

【And I lost weight! 】

[However, this is not some kind of nematode disease from the Universe. ]

【It's diabetes! 】

After reading what was on the sky curtain, countless ancient people fell into silence.

"It turns out that these symptoms are the harbingers of a disease. Why didn't we think of this before?"

"These symptoms seem so ordinary, who would have thought they could be the precursor to a serious illness?"

“If we had known the meaning of these symptoms earlier, perhaps we could have saved more people!”

"Hey, these are all living lives..."

The Tang Dynasty plane.

Sun Simiao looked at what was displayed on the sky screen, stroked his beard, and looked solemn.

As a doctor who traveled all over the country, he also recorded similar diseases in detail in "Qian Jin Yao Fang".

During his medical career, he had encountered countless patients like this, who usually started with thirst and drinking a lot, and then developed into weight loss and physical weakness.

When I was collecting herbs in Mount Zhongnan in my early years, I met a young woodcutter who had the same symptoms, from thirst at first to emaciated body later.

It turns out that this is what later generations called diabetes.

He had also tried decoctions made from herbs such as Pueraria lobata and Rehmannia glutinosa, which could temporarily relieve the symptoms but were difficult to cure.

Over the years, he has traveled all over the mountains and rivers, visited people everywhere, and collected a large number of folk remedies for treating this disease, but unfortunately the results have never been ideal.

If the severity of these symptoms could be recognized earlier, perhaps more lives could be saved.

Han Dynasty plane.

Emperor Hui of Han, Liu Ying, gazed at the flashing words on the sky, and an unspeakable grief instantly surged in his heart!

The scene before his father's death suddenly appeared before his eyes.

At that time, Emperor Gaozu drank water day and night, but always felt dry mouth.

At that time, the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau took turns to treat my father and prescribed various prescriptions, but they were unable to relieve his pain.

When my father was in power, he fought many battles and established the Han Dynasty, but he eventually succumbed to this seemingly ordinary symptom of thirst.

The Xiongnu Chanyu once sent an envoy to bring my father a secret recipe for treating diabetes. This shows how serious this disease is, and even the Xiongnu people far away in the northern desert are famous for it.

During my father's last days, the imperial doctors tried various methods, including decoctions made from licorice and pastes made from ginseng, but unfortunately they all had little effect.

In the last few months of my father's life, he was not only extremely thirsty, but also lost a lot of weight. The imperial kitchen served him delicacies from land and sea every day, but was unable to stop his condition from worsening.

The imperial doctors at that time only knew that this was diabetes, but they did not understand that it was such a serious disease.

Even the most experienced imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau could only treat the patient according to traditional methods and was unable to fundamentally resolve the emperor's pain.

Before my father passed away, water jars were placed everywhere in the Weiyang Palace, but even so, they could not relieve the unbearable thirst.

Looking at the words on the sky curtain, Liu Ying finally understood that this was what later generations called diabetes. This terrible disease that took his father's life finally had a name.

Recalling the time when my father was seriously ill, the entire court was filled with gloom and sorrow, watching helplessly as such an outstanding leader was tortured by this disease.

Now that he knew the truth about the disease, Liu Ying realized the limitations of his own medical skills. As a son, the pain of watching his father become increasingly thin but unable to do anything about it resurfaced.

If I had known the severity of these symptoms earlier, perhaps I could have found more treatment methods for my father.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

[The beautiful girl Elizabeth has typical symptoms of diabetes. ]

[Commonly known as "three mores and one less", which means drinking more, eating more, urinating more, and losing weight. ]

Why does diabetes appear like this?

【This has to start with the principle of diabetes. 】

【Energy is the foundation of the body. Everything depends on the food we eat being broken down into glucose.】

[After glucose enters the blood, it is transported to various parts of the body to supply cells with food and drink. ]

【What you can’t eat will be stored in the liver and turned into glycogen. 】

What is diabetes, anyway?

【The problem arises during this operation. 】

【There is an organ in the body called pancreatic islet. 】

【There are two types of cells, one is called alpha cell and the other is called beta cell. 】

[Alpha cells secrete hormones that promote the breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver.]

[When blood sugar is low, it will increase secretion, raise blood sugar and prevent hypoglycemia. ]

[The beta cells do the exact opposite; they secrete the famous insulin.]

[After the glucose in the blood is transported to the vicinity of the cells, insulin is needed to help move it in. ]

[More insulin means more work is done to transport the blood sugar, which reduces the amount of sugar in the blood.]

【And if people encounter some accidents, such as being infected with a virus. 】

[At this time, the immune cells accidentally identified the wrong virus while hunting it down, and directly killed the beta cells in the insulin. ]

Without beta cells, there is less insulin to move glucose.

[If there is no place for the glucose in the blood to be consumed, the blood sugar concentration will rise. ]

[This is type 1 diabetes, which mainly affects children.]

Han Dynasty plane.

When Sima Xiangru saw this, he was almost frightened to death!

Although those new words were puzzling, the symptoms described on the sky curtain were surprisingly similar to his recent physical condition!
These days, I always feel dry mouth and tongue, and I have to drink several large cans of water a day to relieve it a little!
Not only that, although he ate a lot, his body became thinner and thinner. These symptoms were exactly the same as what was said on the sky curtain.

As a scholar, I attach the most importance to health preservation in my daily life.

However, these symptoms still made him feel extremely cold all over!
Could it be that I really have this so-called diabetes?
That would be the end of it!

Ever since he met Zhuo Wenjun in Chengdu, he has been looking forward to creating more masterpieces.

But now, this sudden illness...

Fate is so fickle!

Are those unfinished poems and unrealized ambitions going to be in vain just like that?

Thinking of this, this talented writer couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

The thought that a talented person like me might die young at any time makes me feel uncomfortable!
Sima Xiangru became more and more unwilling!

No! I have to write more articles while I am still alive and well!
I must make my name immortal!

The Three Kingdoms plane.

Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, felt sick after watching what was displayed on the sky curtain.
