a ae . oso a 4 The Nevada County Nugget September 4, 1968 Diabetics may have excess of insulin The chronic diseases that people live with are usually a major concern of wives and mothers who see to it that family members maintain their diets and medication schedules. Traditionally, women are the “health guards" of the family, and they try to keep up-to-date on care of their loved ones. They need to be aware of new ways of treating the chronic diseases, New methods of treating diabetes--for instance -mean new life for millions. For 40 years after the discovery of insulin in the 1920's it was thought that diabetes was a simple condition caused by the body's failure to produce sufficient insulin, Injected insulin became the traditional therapy used to. treat diabetes. But then, in 1962, when scientists learned to measure insulin levels in blood, they discovered that many diabetics may not be suffering from lack of insulin at all, Rather, it was found that some have excess amounts of insulin in their blood --together with excess sugar. The action of this excess insulin is presumably blocked or it is _held inactive in the blood. It is now widely accepted that there are two types of diabetics: the juvenile-onset type (in which the disease usually appears before age 15), who do suffer from an insulin shortage; and the maturity-onset type (whose diare usually appears after age 40). These latter, about 75 per cent of all diabetics, number at' least two million. Four out of five of them tend to be overweight and many of them produce more than enough insulin for the body's needs. Insulin excess in maturity-onset diabetics may be one reason for their overweight, since circulating insulin when it does ultimately lower blood sugar, « can and often does increase appetite. By aiding,the conver. GOOD CITIZENS BUILD BETTER COMMUNITIES Citizenship involves more than casting a ballot, attending a civic club meeting, and obeying the law.

Many physicians nowadays, with this in mind, are putting their overweight diabetics‘on reducing diets. In some patients, a strict diet is all that is needed to keep blood sugar within normal limits, When diet alone is insufficient, physicians may choose one of two basic types of oral antidiabetic drugs to lower blood sugar level, One of these--phenformin (DBI)--is unique in that it does not stimulate the body to produce more insulin, but rather seems to help the previously blocked blood insulin increase use of blood sugar in the muscle while bringing about a reduction of excess insulin secretion. In the process, the diabetic frequently loses weight. Wives and mothers of diabetics should know that the disease is not simply caused by a lack of insulin, And, most importantly, they should know that excess weight can be a si of diabetes.
