The prevalence of diabetes is increasing exponentially often causing an enormous public health burden. A hospital based observational study was undertaken and 144 type I diabetic subjects with equal number of nondiabetic controls were enrolled. The mean lens thickness, duration, fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin were assessed. The crystalline lens was thicke...

Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the United States. Diabetes is a disease that affects the way the body handles blood sugar, and approximately 24 million Americans have this disease. There is no cure for diabetes. However, it is a disease that can be controlled with proper care. But without good management, diabetes can cause devastating and irreversible complications. Diabetes ca...

This paper presents the results of studies made on the blood sugar content of human beings subjected to the different influencing fact.ors incidental to surgical procedures of various kinds. The series of studies made offers an opportunity for comparing the results obtained in human beings with those obtained on animals. In the studies made by means of animal experimentation, it has been found ...

In a previous communication (1) the work of Bollman, Mann and Magath (2) and of others was confirmed and extended to show that neither epinephrin, ether anesthesia nor asphyxia has any effect upon the falling blood sugar level of abdominally eviscerated dogs. It was concluded that muscle glycogen is not an available source of blood sugar in the absence of the liver and that this organ, in the a...

Gobell (1) showed that 100 mg. of nicotinamide injected intravenously into children produced regularly a fall in the blood sugar level, averaging 21.3 mg. per cent. The hypoglycemic action of nicotinic acid was also observed in normal human adults by Marche and Delbarre (2), PoumeauDelille and Fabiani (3), and Neuwahl (4). In experiments with animals Ledrut (5) observed a marked decrease in the...

We develop a prototype for real-time blood sugar control based upon the hypothesis that there is a medical challenge in determining the exact, real-time insulin dose. Our system controls blood sugar by observing the blood sugar level and automatically determining the appropriate insulin dose based on patient’s historical data all in real time. At the heart of our system is an algorithm that det...

The ethanolic extract of seeds of S. cumini increased body weight and decreased blood sugar level in alloxan diabetic albino rats. Level of significance for decrease in blood sugar after feeding alcoholic extract of S. cumini seeds in various doses was highly significant. The extract feeding showed definite improvement in the histopathology of islets. The most important finding is that the bloo...

1. Nine unoperated dogs snowed a rise of blood sugar dunng anaphylactic shock. In six of these dogs the rise was 60 mg. or over. 2. Six dogs in which one adrenal had long previously been extirpated and the opposite splanchnic nerve cut, showed a low preliminary level of blood sugar, and a relative rise of blood sugar during anaphylaxis, but of less degree than in the unoperated animals. In no c...
