[Incidence of diabetes mellitus in the Neubrandenburg district].
As result of the examination of the movement of diabetes mellitus in the Neubrandenburg district in 1958 to 1975 it is stated that the increase of the number of patients is to be traced back to diagnosis and treatment. In this connection there is not only a structural change of the age of the diabetics, but the relation between unrecognized and recognized patients is displaced, too. The total number of the carriers of a pathogenic hereditary disposition within the population is increasing. Very probably the portion of the diabetics within the population will settle down on a higher balance value. The most important prophylactic measure to avoid complications above all is the early recognition of the sick persons.
