To be valuable, such a method must be adequate to meet the varying clinical situations presented. Many attempts have been made to answer this question. In most of those published, there is either a lack of flexibility, which handicaps one in dealing with the different clinical problems, or else a system of test diets is proposed which is applicable to classes rather than individuals. The present method...Bibliography1 WILDER RM: Optimal Food Mixtures for Diabetic Patients; Journal American Medical Association, Vol. 78, p. 1878, 1922.
