dc.description.abstractBefore the discovery of insulin therapy in 1921 and the development of effective oral hypoglycaemic therapy in 1926, pharmacological management of diabetes mellitus was restricted to empirical treatment often based on plant products and relegated to folklore medicine. One therapy reputed in Malta as useful for the management of diabetes mellitus in 1927 was Fenugreek. This has now been shown to have definite pharmacological properties that controls blood glucose levels in diabetic subjects.en_GB
