title: Combined glucose and lactate values in vitreous humour for postmortem diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The combined glucose and lactate values in vitreous humour were examined in 52 autopsy cases without diabetes and 10 cases with diabetes, and the significance thresholds for the distribution of the combined values were calculated. The use of these values in the diagnosis of antemortem hyperglycaemia, lactic acidosis or hypoglycaemia is discussed.
