Life

Pavy was born in Wroughton and educated at Merchant Taylors' School. He entered Guy's Hospital in 1847.[2] There he worked with Richard Bright in the study of Bright's disease or kidney failure. He graduated as M.B. after five years from the University of London and M.D. the following year. He became Lecturer of Anatomy at Guy's in 1854 and of Physiology in 1856. In 1859 he was appointed Assistant Physician at Guy's and full Physician in 1871.

He was made President of the Pathological Society of London[3] in 1893 and President of the Medical and Chirurgical Society of London in 1900. He delivered the Goulstonian Lectures in 1862 and the Croonian Lecture in 1878 and 1894 to the Royal College of Physicians. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1863.[4]

He had married Julia Oliver[5] in London in 1855. They had two daughter Florence Julia (1856–1902) and Maud (born 1862, predeceased her mother). Florence Pavy married Rev. Sir Borradaile Savory in 1881.[6][7]

Pavy died on the 19th September 1911 and was buried in a family vault on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.

Diabetes

Pavy was a leading expert in diabetes, and spent almost 20 years trying to disprove Claude Bernard's theory of the glycogen-glucose metabolic cycle. His 1862 paper "Researches on the Nature and Treatment of Diabetes" was, for many years, the definitive guide to the condition.[8]

Pavy studied carbohydrate metabolism and dietetic treatment for diabetes.[9] In 1873, Pavy authored A Treatise on Food and Dietetics which recommended almonds and nuts as bread substitutes. Pavy promoted a low-carbohydrate diet to treat diabetes.[9] His diet allowed all kinds of butcher's meat (except liver), cheese, eggs, fish and some green vegetables. All sugar was forbidden including all kinds of fruit, pasta and potatoes but he allowed spirits and wines that had not been sweetened.[9]
