We are now in a position to deal with a still larger material. The effect of reduction of weight upon the delayed utilization of glucose displayed by 62 obese adult men and women forms the substance of this paper. A number of the patients had been referred to the Diabetic Clinic by their physicians because diet and insulin had failed to abolish the glycosuria. Others came to the hospital because they were suffering from pruritus vulvae, cataract, gangrene, gall-bladder disease or merely...Bibliography1.
