Diabetes Diet Treatment

jogical ia the treat- |
menj of diabetes, as described from
the Datgre of the disease as dis
cussed In this column yesterday. To
summarize what
was there said:
Essentially di
abetes is an in
ability of the
body to use car
bohydrate food
(starches and
sugars) as It
docs normally.
Actually every
person with dia

Logically, then.
Dr. pendenlng
the treatment by
diet would be to give the patient just
as much carbohydrate food as he
can use and no more. And to make
up the deficiency between his power
to utilize carbohydrate and his needs
In other ways.
The first problem for the patient
with diabetes, then. Is to discover
how much carbohydrate he can use
-—the glucose tolerance, as it is
called. If Mr. Smith (aged 55) can
use 150 grams of carbohydrate a day
and little Johnny Jones (aged 8) can
utilize only 40 grams, while Miss
Grace, the Rchool teacher (aged 81).
who recently found she had diabetes,
can utilize 80 grams, and old Grand
ma X has Just a touch of diabetes
in her 72nd year, hut can utilize 200
grams of carbohydrate a day, you
can’t plan the same diet for all of
them.
How are you going to find out? By
going to a doctor. People seem to
think that this advice Is for the bene
fit of the medical profession, but I
can’t see why. The fact Is the doc
tors educate themselves for the
benefit of the people. Certainly when
you’re sick that is the time you need
them. Os all diseases the treatment
of diabetes can best be handled by
the patients themselves, and most
of the treatment of the diabetic Is

ihce is, because each patient '.is.-.dif
ferent.
After that, a patient with diabetes
should visit a doctor every three
months. All the rest of the treat
ment can be carried out at home by
the patient himself.
It is impossible to set down hard
and fast rules for the diet of a dia
betic because each case is different.
The list given above is a very aver
age one; the tolerance for carbohy
■ kate ranges from 40 to 200 grams,
and the list is in accord with facta
in that the younger the patient, the
more severe the disease is likely to
be:t lower the tolerance.
The dietetic treatment, then, la
quite simple; the patient finds out
what his tolerance is. and then plans
his diet so that it shall contain no
more carbohydrate than he can tol
erate. To do this he must have, at
least at first, a table of food values
and a scale for weighing food. The
food table may be found in any of
the many diabetic manuals published
(the nearest book store Is sure ’-fo
have one; they keep them in stock
just as they do dictionaries), or send
10 cents td this column. The food
scales can be purchased at the hard
ware store.
There are only three little addi
tional hints in planning the diet:
1. The amount of fat must not be
too high. Especially In young dia
betics this may brtpg on coma. How
high must be learned by study.
2. Vegetables ,containing a small
amount (5 per cent) carbohydrate
are better than concentrated starches
and sugars, because they get into the
blood slower.
3. When you can’t get enough to
eat. there’s always Insulin.

that.
Or if he is a learned man he may
explain that the term “bilious” Is a
survival from the medieval idea of
the disease—the idea that disease was
due to disturbance of the humors of
the body. The humors were four—
blood, bile, . phlegm and choler. If
one of these predominated in a per
sonality. or if someone were subject
to one of them, he was a sanguine,
a bilious, a phlegmatic or a choleric
man. as the case might be. The idea
has persisted In a subconscious way
until quite recent times, as witness
Disraeli's classic simile: “As bilious
as a Bengal general.” But your
learned doctor will explain the Idea
was not sound as an explanation of
disease, and there is no such thing
as biliousness.
Well, what Is the matter with you,
then, you may well ask? You have
certain sensations every once in a
while that you have learned to call
bilious, and that is where you are
Dn solid ground. That is where you
are tighter than the doctor. You
have a right to know what they are.
The difficulty is simply a question of
terms.

and happiness ever since. One of the
newer systems of psychology, indeed,
is based on the idea that all human
behavior can be accounted for by the
operation of two driving forces: the
appetitive-hunger-seeking -drive and
the love-drive, or procreative-drive
• • •
We do not need to embrace this
system ot psychology to realize that
a large part of life has been con
cerned with digestion. Primitive an
imals and young animals are prac
tically all stomach, When anything
untoward—physical or mental —hap-
pens to the organism, this oldest and
most fundamental of all the systems
Is likely to be the first to be upset.
You saw something that made you
sick at your stomach. A wrench of
your arm did the same thing. You
were too worried to eat. Why should
such things be? What connection
has a wrench of the arm and the
stomach? With the vomiting center
in the brain? We say “reflex” in
explanation, but it doesn’t explain
biliousness? Isn't it that there is .a
feeling of sluggishness, a little heavi
ness or throbbing in the head, a sen
sation as if everything be.'ow the
waist had stopped dead, and wasn’t
going to start again until it was weli
prodded. Then just a bit of nausea,
spots before the eyes, and a most de
cided disinclination to do any labor
of any kind, as well as for food.
Certainly people have this group of
sensations, and they are likely to
have them recurrently in spells. That
is why they say they are subject to
biliousness.
And that, I think, Is the clue to
their real nature. For a long time
l. too, laughed at the idea of bilious
ness, and then I began to inquire ,
what my patients meant by it, and i
am certain now that what people
mean when they say they are bilious
is that they have minor attacks of
migraine, or sick headache. It is the
form which should be called abdom
inal migraine.
Sometimes abdominal migraine
may take the form of actual pain so
severe that, as certain physicians
have pointed out, futile abdominal
operations have been resorted to. in
the expectation of finding gallstones
or other organic disease. Most of
the cases of abdominal migraine,
however, take the milder form 1 have
described, without actual pain.
There is a final valuable hint that
has made many people believe alUthe
more strongly in the “bilious” nature
of their complaint—it will disappear
under the tender ministrations of a
little calomel.

Through the long vistas of the ages
we can see our sad-eyed ancestors, in

shallow slime, apprehensively holding
their hands over their aching bellies.
No wonder stomach ache is called
old-fashioned.

No wonder, also, that the emotions
play a large part in chronic or re
current abdominal distress. The
more emotional the individual, the
more the tenesmus. There are few
writers, actors, senarlo creators,
painters or musicians of my ac

“Belly aching” is the expressive

These things are very likely to be
forgotten when we are trying to ex

are so accustomed to dealing with
pain in terms of germs and ulcers,

attraction is balanced so that they

magnetism generates electricity and
electricity generates magnetism. The
two are so perfectly balanced that
they maintain their relative positions

are the planets spaced as they are

best proofs of this theory is that the
