[Simple glaucoma and diabetic disease].
Blood sugar, blood insulin and the insulinogenic index after oral glucose were studied in 41 subjects with simple glaucoma.  Clinical diabetes was present in 9.76% and asymptomatic diabetes in 21.95%.  It is suggested that a high incidence of diabetes may be expected in simple glaucoma, probably as expressions of a common genetic disorder.
