The changing picture of diabetes.
The clinical picture of diabetes has changed dramatically and continues in a state of rapid flux. The early promise of insulin has remained unfulfilled and its beneficial effects, namely prolonging life, have led to the development of severe complications in a distressingly increasing number of diabetics. The present research thrust is encouraging but obviously requires a determined, aggressive concerted attack so that the understanding of precisely what is the diabetic syndrome, its treatment, cure and prevention, can be accomplished.
