title: [Frequency of a positive result in the chlorpropamide-alcohol flush test in type I and type II diabetes].
abstract: 146 newly manifested diabetics (91 type I, 55 type II) and 20 non-diabetics were examined with the help of the chlorpropamide alcohol flush test. Also under different criteria of valuation of the increase of skin temperature (1.5 and 1.8 degrees C, respectively) no significant differences between the positive findings of the test in type I and type II diabetics were the result. Decisive for a positive result is according to our investigations the pre-existing initial temperature of the skin area, the room temperature and the air humidity. In such a case the initial temperature of the skin area depends on the moment of the last food intake.
