title: [Manifestation of diabetes in the first to third year of life. Later fates of 43 patients (author's transl)].
abstract: Life expectancy of diabetics since early childhood is differently judged. Out of 43 own patients with diabetes started between the first and third year of life, no less than 33 have passed their twentieth year of life; 16 patients are aged between 25 and 46 years; one woman patient lived to the age of 64! In all cases the duration of diabetes is more than 10 years, in 26 cases 20 years or more. In 24 cases angiopathy developed chiefly in the form of retinopathy, nephroapthy and arterial hypertension (none in 19 cases). 7 patients died of uraemia. While there is hardly any difference between the two groups (with or without angiopathy) as far as duration and quality of diabetes-control are concerned, in the angiopathy-group hereditary taint clearly prevails. The early beginning of diabetes does not at all represent an absolutely unfavourable symptom, rather the reverse (O. Imerslund).
