The term "diabetes" is a combination of the Greek word "diabetes" and the Latin word "mellitus", and the first use of the term in the non-magical world dates back to 250 BC.

However, because diabetes is a chronic disease and often causes death, it was not until the early 20th century that people began to take the dangers of diabetes seriously, and various treatments for diabetes appeared—but most of them were largely useless.

The real improvement in diabetes treatment was in 1982, that is, not long after Elena's body was born, there was a biosynthetic human insulin that could be produced in large quantities.

However, it is clear that this kind of non-magical medicine and medical theory has not been introduced to the magical world on a large scale.

If Elena remembers correctly, even 20 years after the popularization of medical knowledge, the prevalence of diabetes once reached 1 in 10, and with the increase of age, the prevalence of people over 65 years old increased in turn.

If you think about it, it seems that it is not surprising that Gellert Grindelwald is one hundred and eight years old, and he lacks daily medical care and basic medical knowledge, so he has diabetes.

"Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds interesting. Grindelwald silently chanted the spell while pressing his lower abdomen, and looked at the anxious white-haired balls in front of him with great interest, and the corners of his mouth curled.

"Interesting?!This is acute diabetic ketoacidosis!Do you understand the importance of the situation, if you are not careful, you may die!" Elena waved her hand and said angrily after a long time of explanation.

Diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA, is an acute complication of diabetes and one of the most common deaths from diabetes.

Because diabetic patients do not have enough insulin in the body to utilize glucose, once the blood sugar rises sharply, it will lead to an increase in uric acid excretion, at this time the body begins to use adipose tissue to produce energy, and the ketone bodies produced by lipolysis cannot be well utilized, and will accumulate in the blood, causing ketoacidosis.

Since she didn't know that Grindelwald had diabetes, Elena's three meals a day were mainly proportioned according to her own body intake, that is, children's meals rich in sugar, calcium and calories.

There is no doubt that Elena's little butterfly has once again blown a new hurricane - according to the plot of the original book, Grindelwald should have lived peacefully until the end of the seventh part, until he was killed by Voldemort, who came to ask the whereabouts of the Elder Wand, with an Avada Curse.

"To be precise, if I were a Muggle, I would probably die. And now, it's just a little bit of a stomachache. ”

Grindelwald shook his finger and corrected with a calm expression.

"Did you listen to me?"

Hearing the old wizard's words, Elena couldn't help but be a little angry after explaining bitterly for a long time, and she was still talking about muggles and stomach aches! Is this old guy Alzheimer's, why can't he even master the most basic new knowledge points.

Wait a minute!

A flash of lightning suddenly struck Elena in her mind, glanced at Grindelwald, who didn't seem too nervous, and asked softly, "You mean, there is actually a spell that can cure [stomachache], right?"

Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is something that all human beings inevitably experience.

As such a widespread metabolic disease, there is no reason why people living in the wizarding world should be immune, magic is only a supernatural ability, not a hair-cutting aura - at least for now, even wizards can catch colds, cough, and diarrhea due to irregular diets.

The "tech tree" of civilization, which has gradually developed based on various spells, obviously cannot think in terms of the thinking of a non-magical technology tree, whether it is in terms of common sense or the way of solving problems, as a semi-closed-loop world with a long history, wizards must have a unique system of understanding the world - a magical perspective.

Just like lockpicking spells, most spells are actually black box magic with first effect and then cause, and there is no need to study the principles hidden under the flow of magic tracks, but instead need to consider the form of the output (magic effect), and the input factors that may be involved (magic, gestures, pronunciation...... ）。

And the magic of the black box principle, which can play its greatest role in daily life, must first and foremost be in the field of medicine, which is full of difficult mysteries and is closely related to everyone.

You must know that the body is an indispensable part of most human beings' perception of the world, and as the first need to continue the individual, how to heal oneself and continue life is definitely countless times more important than destruction and convenience of life. Theoretically, even if you don't know the exact pathology, whether it's appendicitis or gastroenteritis, you might be able to use the same spell to solve it.

In a sense, the "unreasonable" medical system of the wizarding world has completely embarked on a very different path from the non-wizarding world, using the phenomena presented as the standard for generalizing treatments, and the results of treatments as the classification of branches of spells.

It's hard to say which is better or worse in the long run, but as it stands, the average life expectancy of the wizarding world is significantly higher than that of the non-wizarding world—under the protection of all kinds of unreasonable potions and spells, the vast majority of people can be saved unless they die instantaneously.

"Of course, little one, magic is much more mysterious than you might think. As far as I know, there are at least three or four simple spells that can solve this little problem in an instant. ”

Grindelwald grinned, I have to say, it is rare to see the always strong and willful Elena show such an anxious and cute appearance, as a memory of the last day before parting, it really can't be too good.

"Hmm...... And so on, so ......"

Elena glanced at the original Dark Lord who asked questions from time to time and looked like he was listening carefully, her eyes swept the old man's hand that was still covering his lower abdomen and emitting a soft white glow, and took a deep breath, "From the beginning, you were deliberately looking at me for jokes, and even pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy?"

"Not exactly, on the one hand, I'm curious to see what non-magical people think about it. ”

Grindelwald shook his head, followed Elena's gaze, lowered his head to look down at the healing magic that was still ongoing, and continued, "On the other hand, although I know that there are three or four spells that can solve my current problems, they all require the use of a wand to cast spells. But luckily, now we just have to wait for Albus to arrive. ”

Although Elena was holding a wand in her hand at this time, Grindelwald did not have any intention of borrowing it - Grindelwald knew very well that the two of them could maintain this harmonious atmosphere at present, and it seemed to him that it was too unworthwhile to break this tacit understanding for the sake of some trivial ailment.

"What if Dumbledore doesn't come?" Elena frowned.

For some reason, she had been a little distracted since she saw the endless text message from Dumbledore in the morning.

"Then, when I can no longer maintain your script, perhaps, as you say, I may die in a coma—if you are not wrong about Muggle knowledge that you don't know where to go. Grindelwald smiled slightly, his eyes and tone were extraordinarily calm, as if he was discussing with Elena what to eat at noon today.

"Actually, I can ......"

Hearing Grindelwald's words, Elena tightened the wand in her hand, her lips pursed, swallowed back the words that followed, her eyes lowered to the side, and she followed the old wizard's words and asked, "So, how long can you last it?"

"At least I can make it until the evening. ”

Noticing the girl's small movements, Grindelwald smiled disappreciatively, "Don't worry, since the summer of Godric's Valley in 1899, Albus and I have known each other for a full ninety-two years, although we have had disagreements and collisions in this process, but he is definitely not a man of his word. ”

"Since I wrote in the note that I would come later today, then I will definitely not break my promise. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint fluctuation of magic from the letter spread out on the side of the table.

The two stopped talking and subconsciously turned their heads to look over.

I saw the ink on the letter paper writhing slowly, and the word "today" slowly elongated, gradually changing to the appearance of "tomorrow".

“......”
