Behandlung Diabetischer Kinder: Ein Leitfaden für die Praxis

Abstract

This brief outline summarizes the experiences of the University Children's Hospital in Frankfort, one of the best pediatric teaching centers of Germany in the after-war period. Frankfort has a diabetes tradition, since v. Noorden, whose textbook and dietetic systems were leading in Europe in the pre-insulin era, worked there. This outline contains diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and laboratory technics. Since it is written for the practitioner, emphasis is laid upon office rather than hospital problems, such as various initial signs of hypoglycemia, the indications of regular-and protamine zinc insuline and psychologic treatment.
