Excerpt from The Treatment Diabetes Mellitus: With Observations Upon the Disease Based, Upon Thirteen Hundred CasesThe more than kind reception accorded the first edition has led me to take even greater pains with the second. The book has there fore been largely rewritten, using as a basis the experience gained in another year of study of new and old diabetic cases. It is now possible to be more definite in describing treatment, and this is particularly true of what is written about acid poisoning. Today I can furnish facts in support of my practice of not giving alkalis in the presence of threatening coma. The advance in the treat ment of diabetes, which began with the introduction of fasting by Dr. F. Allen, continues, and statistics are now available to show it. Se-called acutely fatal diabetes is disappearing and the first year of diabetes is no longer, as was only too recently the case, the diabetic's danger zone. Already I have quite a'series of patients who have outlived their normal expectation of life at the age of onset of their diabetes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from a defect in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. This program is designed to provide insight on what diabetes does to a person's body, the various types of diabetes, complications associated with this disease and important steps to prevent or decrease the risk of complications.

The cause of diabetes mellitus is metabolic in origin. However, its major clinical manifestations, which result in most of the morbidity and mortality, are a result of its vascular pathology. In fact, the American Heart Association has recently stated that, “from the point of view of cardiovascular medicine, it may be appropriate to say, diabetes is a cardiovascular disease” (1). But diabetic vascular disease is not limited to just the macrovasculature. Diabetes mellitus also affects the microcirculation with devastating results, including nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the United States, while diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new-onset blindness in working-age Americans. The importance of this text on Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease is evident by the magnitude of the population affected by diabetes mellitus. Over 10 million Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, while another 5 million remain undiagnosed. The impact from a public health perspective is huge and increasing. As the population of the United States grows older, more sedentary, and obese, the risk of developing diabetes and its complications will increase. Epidemiological studies have identified diabetes mellitus as a major independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Over 65% of patients with diabetes mellitus die from a cardiovascular cause. The prognosis of patients with diabetes mellitus who develop overt clinical cardiovascular disease is much worse than those cardiovascular patients free of diabetes mellitus.
