title: [Self-testing of urine in insulin treatment (author's transl)].
abstract: The self-testing of urine has proved outstanding for the optimal adjustment and supervision of insulin treatment. Among the tests for determination of sugar in the urine, the Clinitest method is preferred to the enzymatic test strip method. The various possibilities for use of the self-testing of urine are shown in a 4-stage scheme. They are determined by the object of therapy and the capacity of the diabetic to co-operate. Self-testing of urine serves the following purposes: 1. prophylaxis of coma, 2. encouragement of dietary discipline, 3. a guide for the doctor, 4. self-adaptation of the insulin dosage.
