Casenotes Past & Present is a Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh podcast.

In this episode we uncover the history of diabetes and its treatment, starting with Ancient Egypt and Greece and some very dubious therapeutics, including opium, alcohol and animal dung!

Then we talk to Professor Mark Strachan, a consultant physician in endocrinology and diabetes, about his clinical and research work.
