The weight loss results from the large amount of sugar excreted in the urine and the loss of body water. Sugar in thfe urine means lost nourishment. Since specimens of urine during person can be helped to a tptfer file. While softie dietary restrictions may be Imposed, this does not mean a useful and gainful existence cannot be enjoyed, socially and occupationally. While injections of insulin are thus far Ihe one established means of controlling diabetes, they are not always necessary in the obese if regulations in the diet are watched carefully.

Next to heredity, obesity ranks as the most important predisposing factor in the causation of diabetes. The tendency to become overweight after the age of forty is probably related to the frequency of diabetes at this time. In children obesity is not the prominent factor in the development of •. diabetes ' that it is in adults. Needless to say, however, the. overweight child with a family history of diabetes should be placed on a reduction diet. How does obesity influence diabetes? Actually the increased amount of food that the obese person consumes places a metabolic strain on the insulin producing cells of the pancreas. Eventually a deficiency is produced in the person with a hereditary background and diabetes is the result. A general feeling of weakness may be the only symptom, but since this condition is associated with many debilitating diseases i hours after a full meal is advisable. If normal, the urine should be free of sugar before the meal and several hours afterward. Once the diagnosis of diabates has been definitely established, the patient is taught simple procedures of testing the urine. ' It is estimated that there are at least one million known dia-> betics in the country, and ah approximate number of " unknown diabetics. For this reason, education is directed to locating the unknown or potential diabetics, so that existing methods of controlling the - condition may instituted. members) will present contracts to yyianagement covering new paif scales.
