The Diabetic A-B-C: A Practical Book for Patients and Nurses

This little book is intended to be used as a practical guide-book by patients and nurses especially to enable them to follow the author's ' line ration' scheme of dieting intelligently. In the present edition, the carbohydrate content of the ' line ration' scheme has been doubled, each black line containing 10 gms. of carbohydrates instead of 5. The other essentials in the scheme have been left unchanged. A brief description of what diabetes is has been given in the book as well as some practical instructions as to what to do when ill. The technique of insulin injections, as also what to do in case of an overdose of insulin, are described.
