Living with Diabetes

Synopsis

Outlines in simple terms the incidence and mechanism of diabetes, and describes in some detail how the diabetic can live a normal life through diet and the use of insulin. The technique of insulin is then demonstrated, and is followed by an illustration of the routine urine test. A brief description of the manufacture of insulin is given, and the final sequences provide examples of some cases and symptoms of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia.
