Il. f. Howell, Nj. ID. of Dallas, Tex.
For AMP
DIABETES


his late sixties, came to my office
recently accompanied by his 15-year-
old granddaughter. He introduced
me to her and said she had offered
to come along and keep him comp
any there and back.
Julie waited in the reception room
while her grandfather had his
checkup. Inside, Mr.. Daniels told
me he lived with Julie and her pa
rents, and things had been happy
and peaceful until recently, Julie
had learned to bake pies and cakes
at cooking class in high school and
was doing all the baking for the
family. But almost every night at
dinner, Julie would be very hurt,
sometimes breaking into tears, when
her grandfather turned down her
pies and cakes. The old gentleman's
protests about his diabetes made
little impression because Julie thot
"a little dessert would do no harm"
told Mr.. Daniels he was right
to refuse the desserts and l con-
graduated him for keeping to his
diet, taking his insulin regularly,
and getting sufficient rest. Mr.. Dan
iels was my last patient that even
ing and 1 walked out with him to
the reception room where Julie sat
reading a magazine.
When 1 asked Julie what had her
so interested, she showed me an
article on cooking in the magazine.
1 told her 1 had heard of her cook
ing classes in high school, and that
seemed to remind her of her grand
fathers ''stubborness."
Doctor, grandfather refuses to
eat my pies and cakes, and says
You told him he shouldn't" she said.
Couldn't he have some, now and
then, since he's taking insulin, any
how?"
L wish 1 could say yes, julie"
l replied, but your grandfather
must keep to his diet, as we'll as his
insulin, if he is to keep his illness
under control. Insulin is an aid in
treating diabetes, not cure for the
disease, nor does it always fill all
the needs of a diabetic person. In
most cases, as with your grand
father, a diabetic has to skip
starches and sugars as we'll as take
insulin."
| told Julie that the body ordinari-
ly converts sugar into the warmth
and energy which it needs, but in
diabetes, sugar is not used proper
ly and is thrown off in the blood
stream or in the patients urine.
This happens because the pancreaS
gland of a diabetic fails to perform
its function of manufacturing
substance called insulin which pre-
pares tire sugar for its proper use
by the body. To help offset this, the
diabetic is given insulin taken from
the pancreas of animals. But usual
ly a special diet, with insulin injec-
tiOns, is necessary to control the d.
abetic condition.
Julie listened thoughtfully. When
/ paused, she hastily assured me
that she loved her grandfather very
much and never meant to endanger
his health. told her i understand
how proud she must be of her cook
ing, which Mr.. Daniels said jules
parents praised 1t seemed to con-
sole her to learn that my patient
had told me of her parents apprec-
iation.
Satisfied also with my explana-
ton Of her grandfather's diet, l
heard her tell him, as they left.
that she was now learning the prop
err way to cook vegetables, which she
was certain he could eat.

policy on the grounds that he is
a Negro.
The Winconsin law which bars
Negroes from holding state insur-
ance policies came under addition
al fire Wednesday when Atty. Gen.
Thomas E. Fairchild brought suit
i'm Dane County Circuit court.
According to John LANCE, state
insurance commissioner, the state
does not give Negroes life insur-
ance because their mortality rate
exceeds the actuarial scale. On the
other hand, LANCE pointed out, he
could not issue insurance at a
higher rate because of a 1941 law
requires standard rates for state
insurance.
However, this Interpretation of
the law is "open to question"
said Fairchild. The attorney gen
eral added that discrimination
against Negroes in housing and
medical care "is an important
cause of the fact that life expect
ancy of Negroes is decidedly
shorter"
