Medicines Research Institute, Wonkwang University, Republic of Korea According to the book "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)", Sodan(消癉) is strictly distinguished from 'diabetes' in the category. The former is a name of disease, but the latter means a symptom of 'Sodan.' At first the suffix 'dan' of 'Sodan' means disease, but over time, it had been used as the meaning of 'jaundice' and 'diabetes.' And as Jangjunggyeong(張仲景) applied the concept 'Sodan' to 'diabetes', now the word 'Sodan' has not been used as a name of disease anymore. It shows not only graphical change but also recognitive change regarding diseases. In this study, the applicability of 'diabetes' was expanded by reevaluating the concept 'Sodan', and resultantly, 'Sodan' has been represented in Korean medicine and Chinese medicine.
