Description
Excerpt from The Treatment Diabetes Mellitus: With Observations Upon the Disease Based, Upon Thirteen Hundred Cases
The more than kind reception accorded the first edition has led me to take even greater pains with the second. The book has there fore been largely rewritten, using as a basis the experience gained in another year of study of new and old diabetic cases. It is now possible to be more definite in describing treatment, and this is particularly true of what is written about acid poisoning. Today I can furnish facts in support of my practice of not giving alkalis in the presence of threatening coma. The advance in the treat ment of diabetes, which began with the introduction of fasting by Dr. F. Allen, continues, and statistics are now available to show it. Se-called acutely fatal diabetes is disappearing and the first year of diabetes is no longer, as was only too recently the case, the diabetic''s danger zone. Already I have quite a''series of patients who have outlived their normal expectation of life at the age of onset of their diabetes.
