Podcast: Dark History
Published On: Wed Jan 08 2025
Description: Hi friends, happy Wednesday!Diabetes is a disease that’s been around for thousands and thousands of years. Literally, since the neanderthals were walking around, painting in caves. Recently, I went to the doctor. And something happened. I had to pee in a cup, you know, pretty routine. But my doctor came back with this look on his face and he was like… your pee is full of sugar. Turns out, this could be a sign of diabetes. So while I was waiting for my test results… you know me. I was doom scrolling. Googling until 3am. Just preparing myself for the worst. I ended up not having diabetes, but even still… I couldn’t stop reading about it. Because this disease has an *insane* history. Before there was insulin and Ozempic, there were starvation diets, opium cocktails, and… beer made of literal pee. Let’s get into it.I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.Want some cool Bailey Merch?Shop Dark History Merch: https://www.baileysarian.comI sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show.
