Diabetic Survey
The survey started at the beginning of February, 1964.
In the first three weeks, 400 urines were tested and to date 737 have been tested,
excluding the regular ante-natal (150) urines. Of this number, five men and four girls were
subjected to further examinations. They have been classified as follows:—
Male aged 31 Has low renal threshold. Not diabetes.
*Male aged 42 Sub-diabetic, i.e. responds to simple diet. Slight diabetes.
*Male aged 40 Sub-diabetic, i.e. subject to review. Slight diabetes.
Male aged 39 Normal, i.e.¼ % sugar not repeated. Not diabetes.
*Male aged 49 Sub-diabetic, i.e. subject to review. Slight diabetes.
Female aged 8 Diabetes mellitus, very unstable.
Female aged 4 Normal, i.e. negative on re-test. Not diabetes.
Female aged 20 Normal, associated with pregnancy. Not diabetes.
*Female aged 50 Sub-diabetic, i.e. responds to simple diet. Slight diabetes.
*These cases, though liable to sugar diabetes, responded readily to diet.
The main difficulty in this survey has been the inability to follow up suspects and get
them to attend surgery.
In addition, all the original urines were examined for albuminuria.
