ROAD TO HEALTH
There is a family I know which
is making a game of protecting
the health of the mother. The
father and four children have
“ganged up” to see that the
mother follows all the rules of
the game.
Each of the children has a
special job to perform to make
it easy for the mother to follow
the doctor’s orders. Every week
the father checks with each child
to see how he or she has per
formed her duty and the one who
has done the best job for the
week gets a prize.
The mother has diabetes, a
disease which results when the
sugar content of food consumed
is more than the body can use
or store for future use. If the
disease is not brought under con
trol, serious complications may
result.
Mrs. Green, the mother of the
family which is making a game
of illness, learned she had diabetes
several weeks ago. She began to
gain weight then, suddenly, to Use
weight. She complained of feeling
weak and she seemed to be thirsty
constantly.
One day she became dizzy and
almost fainted. Her husband in
sisted that she see a doctor, so
she came to my office. Her
symptoms indicated diabetes but
of course I gave her a complete
physical examination, which in-

eluded an analysis of her urine
i and a test to find out what the
sugar content of her blood was
Both the urine and the blood
showed an excess of sugar. There
was no question that Mrs. Greer
. had diabetes.
Now, the body requires sugai
to supply it with heat and energy
and it gets sugar from the carbo
hydrates we eat. These are sweet;
and such starchy foods as bread
। cereals, macaroni and potatoes.
If the body receives more suga
than it can use, it stores somt
of it away. Wh’at cannot be store
turne to fat. The body is able t<
use the sugar because of a secre
tion in the blood called insulir
If anything happens to stop th
flow of insulin into the blooJ
the body is not able to use o
store the sugar and diabetes re
i ults.
Among the early symptoms o
diabetes are extreme thirst am
hunger, even though a norma
amount of food is eaten. The ex
cess sugar which has piled uj
tn the blood causes thirst and th'
failure of the body to use tin
sugar results in lack of energj
and in hunger.
It is difficult to “cure” diabete;
but it is not difficult to ccntro:
it, particularly if the disease is
discovered early. A special diet,
low in carbohydrates, will do a
great deal to correct the con
dition. Often it is necessary to
give the patient injections of in
sulin also.
Insulin should only be given
as prescribed by a doctor, who
will know what amount and how
often the injections are necessary
for the particular case. Often the
doctor will show someone in the
home how to give the injection,
but it must be given exactly as
he says. In the case of Mrs.
Green, I instructed the oldest
daughter how to give it to her
mother, told her how much to
give and when.
It is necessary for diabetic
natients tosee a doctor at reg
ular intervals in order that he
may test the urine and blood for
sugar content and thus determine
whether the disease is being
checked. It was the duty of the
oldest son in Mrs< Green’s family
to remind his mother of the days
she was to visit me and to ac
company her to my office.
The two younger children had I
the task of seeing that their I
mother did not cut or scratch
herself and, if she did accident! v-

break her skin in any way, to Te
port to the doctor immediately.
Infections from any cut can be
particularly serious when a person,
has diabetes and every precau
tion should be taken to prevent
such infections.
Mrs. Green is already showing
diet carefully and, due to the
improvement. She is following her
vigilance of her children, is tak
ing insulin as prescribed and is
making regular visits to the doc
tor. Undoubtedly, the family
“game” will have a happy ending
and her diabetes will soon be un
der control.

heard himself described as “the
world’s greatest tap dancer” in
estimonial speeches accompanying

nany figures of prominence today
and in the past in the entertain
