abstract: The incidence rate of the diabetes mellitus in the aged patients has been analyzed. The clinical picture, complications, and the treatment varieties were evaluated in 2260 patients observed in the diabetes dispensary. Among them this disease has been diagnosed in 500 patients after 60 year of life. The results of the observations were compared with that found in 160 patients with diabetes diagnosed before the 35 year of life. This analysis revealed that the insulin treatment decreases in the aged patients the retinopathy rate, that in them the hypersensitivity and the resistance against this hormone are rather exceptional.
