Abstract
In a previous communication (1) two cases of thyroid diabetes were reported. In these cases the glycosuria disappeared after the removal of a portion of the thyroid gland. Of the cases then reported, the second is still under observation and is still sugar free on a very liberal diet. Since the publication of the article referred to, Friedman (2) and his co-workers have announced, and in part published, the results of animal experiments which have a very direct bearing on the question under consideration. These investigators found that if dogs were depancreatized and thus rendered diabetic, the diabetes could be rendered less severe by ligation of all of the vessels of the thyroid and that the glycosuria could be caused to disappear by the subsequent removal of that gland. This very brief summary fails to do justice to the many interesting observations made by Friedman, whose original papers should be consulted for the details.
