title: Principles of management of maturity onset diabetes.
abstract: By far the largest group of diabetics coming under treatment are those falling into the category maturity onset. While symptoms of thirst and polyuria, or symptoms or signs of complications may bring cases to attention, many are asymptomatic. The final proof, glycosuria being the presentation, should be sought by glucose tolerance test since it is essential to have confirmation of diagnosis prior to commitment by doctor and patient to life long treatment.
