Pancreas At Fault

The defect in the diabetic pa
tient is that his pancreas does not
manufacture insulin sufficiently.
Hence glucose remains unburned
in the muscle and passes into the
blood to be carried off by the kid
neys in the urine. That is why the
final test for diabetes is glucose in
the urine.
In treatment it is obvious that
there are two things to do-either
run the engine on less glucose,
which means cutting down starche.
and sugars in the diet, or supply
more insulin.

The Discovery of Insulin

For instance, almost every day
get a letter asking-"ls there
anything that can be done for di-
abetes ?"
That, as l say, is question 1t
doesn't seem possible to me that
anyone would ask in the modern
world. Not only have we for years
been teaching people about the
care of diabetes, but about twenty
years ago with the discovery Of in
sulin in a Canadian hospital, one
of the great triumphs of modern
medicine in the control of diabetes
was accomplished. Only a few
months ago DR.. Banting, the chief
discoverer of insulin, was killed in
the line of duty in an airplane acct
dent and the whole story was in
the papers again. How is it posi-
bic for people to forget so soon?
Well, ! am going to assume that
it is because education of the pub
lie on medical matters has to be
renewed every so often and will
publish a few articles on the mod
ern treatment of diabetes.
A Very Common Condition
In the first place, it is a very
common condition. 1t occurs in
people of all ages and sexes, al
though the majority of cases occur
in those over 80 years Of age. II
you get to that age there is about
a one to a thousand chance that
you will acquire the condition be-
fore long.
The essential nature OF the con-
dition is that the body has lost its
ability to burn sugars and starches
completely. Since our rate of speed
is almost as much dependent on
burning sugars and starches as an
automobiles speed is dependent on
burning gasoline this is fairly seri-
Gus. 1t slows one up and makes for
one of the prominent symptoms OF
diabetes-fatigue.
Utilizing Sugars and Starches
The cause of this defect is un-
derstood when we study the nor
nal way the body has of utilizing
sugars and stsrches. Before any of
these foods can be used by the body
engine-and this includes most
parts Of the fruits and vegetables,
bread, cereals, sugar, molasses,
griddle cakes, crackers and soft
drinks that you take in-they are
all turned to a very simple sugar,
glucose, and stored in the liver and
muscles.
1t is not unlike refining petrole-
UNI and storing it in the tank OF
your automobile. Then when a
muscle, which is the energy-en-
CINE part of your mechanism,
wants to burn some Of this hi-oc-
tame material it calls to the liver
for it, and when the glucose ar
rives in the muscle it is spanked
by a substance produced in certain
cells of the pancreas called insulin.
OF course oxygen carried by the
blood from the lungs also has to be
present. The chemical reaction is
roughly glucose -oxygen-i In
sulin.
