I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe it was called Type 1 before Juvenile Diabetes. Around the 50's, I think they figured out there were 2 types and before they were just treating them both the same, with some crazy treatments also, like opium was used as a treatment at one point. If you need an exact date, Google diabetes history or timeline and you should get some worthwhile dates and tons of information.
