Nearly 3 Million Americans
Estimated to Have Diabetes
Editor' note: Diabetes afflicts
nearly three million American
nearly ball of whom don't know
they have it. What are the symp

medical science done to control It?
What sort of life can a diabetic ex
umI tn live?

By HAROLD
BRANDALEONE. M.D.
President. New York
Diabexet Association
(Written for UPI)
For 3,500 years, science has
sought a cure for the baffling
disease that is diabetes.
Certainly, there is new
hope for the 2,900,000 Amer
icans who the U.5. - public
Health Service estimates are
victims of diabetes, but the
fact that about 1,400,000 of
these are believed to be un
detected cases is a major
problem
Diabetes is a metabolic di
sease which results when the
body fails to convert properly
the food consumed, especially
sugars and starches, into en
ergy. Excess sugar then spills
into the blood and urine.
Medical science's contribution
at this time is to control this
metabolic disturbance.
Outright Cure Is Goal
The goal - an outright cure
- has not yet been reached,
but thanks to tremendous
gains in keeping the disease
under control, hundreds of
thousands of diabetics now
lead nearly i normal lives.
Medical - research promises
still greater things for the
future.
These things stand out in
the overall picture: ;
1. Early detection is essen
tial. . - !
" 2. Finding thousands of
"hidden" or undetected cases
of diabetes -is a year-round
task. - . , . :
3. The dramatic advent of
trie first successful oral drug,
Cfrinase, less than three years
ago touched off a vast wave
of research in which scien
tists, are pursuing exciting
new leads.
The effort to discover "hid
den' cases was stepped up
during Diabetes Detection
Week, Nov. 1 5-2 T Local di
abetes associations, medical
societies, and lay groups
spearheaded drives in which
all residents of their commu
nities were urged to have
tests and to seek proper treat
ment at once if the disease is
present. -
Early Discovery Important
The public must be made
to understand that the sooner
diabetes is discovered the bet
ter the chance for successful
treatment. It should also
know that tests to determine
whether the disease is present
are simple, quick, painless. -
Ideally, every man, woman
and child would have such a
test once a year. Obese per
sons and those with a family
history of diabetes need more
frequent tests, possibly once
every six months. The simple
urine test required can be
made at a clinic, by a physi
cian, or by the "patient" him
self. Taken now, these tests may
prevent much future misery.
Early detection sets the stage
for proper treatment, and
early treatment controls the
disease and prevents compli
cations. Treatment of Diabetes
The treatment of diabetes
consists of diet, diet and in
sulin and, in recent years,
diet and oral medication such
as Orinase, Diabinese and
DBL. In addition to the valu
able practical assistance these
oral drugs have given to so
many diabetics, . their blood
sugar lowering effects have
opened new areas of research
that we hope will lead to a
greater understanding of the
disease. - -
Gains made during the
past 40 year In management
of diabetes are tremendously
significant. A generation ago,
a severe diabetic could ' not
be expected to live very long.
The introduction of insulin
in 1922 enabled thousands of
diabetics for the first time to
bring their disease under con
troL Now, the oral drugs per
mit about 80 per cent of all
diabetics over age 40 - those
with milder cases - to achieve
control with a simple tablet
that can be taken just like
any other pill. Insulin re
mains a potent life-saver for
most "juvenile" diabetics and
adults with more severe
forms of the disease.
Statistics ' show that an
overweight person .is more
likely to be diabetic than -one
of normal weight.
Most Victims Women
Two out of every three dia
betics are women.
However, the greater sus
ceptibility among women
seem to apply only to mar
ried women.
Clearly, diabetes can be
passed on from one genera
tion to the next, but it is not
contagious.
Many cases, both known
and undetected cases, have
none of the outward symp
toms.
It is possible, however, to
point out persons most likely
to be diabetic. They include
those 40 years of age or over,
overweights, and persons with
a family history of diabetes.
If any of these classifica
tions fits you, you should lose
no time in taking a test and
repeating . the performance
regularly, even when the
first result is completely neg
ative.
Diet, insulin, oral drugs
and various combinations of
these measures enables hun
dreds of thousands of diabet
ics to live happy and useful
lives. With early detection
and proper therapy by a phy
sician, many more can join
their ranks in fighting dia
betes to a standstill.

The Family Council
Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.
Each article is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports
on prooiems mat nave neen aeait win oy responsible agencies ana
counselors.
Evelyn S. I hate to quit
now. -
Frank S. - Age will catch
up with her too.
-
Evelyn S. - My husband
andT are in .our 60s, in good
health and have four married
children. Our problem may
seem funny for people at our
stage of life, but it is serious
to us. It is my career. -
About ten years ago,' when
our youngest son left for col
lege, I took a job to keep my
self busy. I found that I loved
to work and I was quickly ad
vanced by my company. I
took courses to fill out my
background and got an even
better job.'
Now I am in a supervisory
position, making good money
and enjoying life to the hilt.
The problem is that my hus
band has been steadily slow
ing down over the past few
years and he wants me to
quit work so that we can take
it easy together. I hate to quit
at the peak of my success.
Frank S. - I think it's a lot
better to quit at the peak of
success than to wait until you
start going downhilL Evelyn
could retire now with the full
satisfaction of knowing that
she has really made it, if she
was out to prove her ability
in the"business world.
What gets me is that she
always used to beg me to take
it easier so that we could en
joy more time together. Now
that I am able to retire she
argues against it, ppinting out
that most men "fall to pieces'
after they retire.
Evelyn seems to get a kiak
out of the fact that she is
going places" while I have
difficulty keeping up with the
things I have been doing for
the past ten years. But she's
onlv two years younger than
I am. Age will catch up with
her too.
.
The Council: We sympathize
with Frank in his desire for
more of his wife's time and at
tention in ' these late years
when they are able to enjoy
one another's company with
out all the responsibilities of
parenthood. Yet we suspect
that more than this is involved
in some of his complaints.
While Evelyn has come into
a new sense of her power dur
ing the past ten years, Frank
apparently feels only a wan
ing of his powers. He appears
to be rather bitter and jealous
about this and his real argu
ment to his wife might well
be, "Stop being so young and
energetic. You're supposed to
grow old along with me."
On the other hand, Evelyn
has apparently been so intoxi
cated with her own achieve
ments that she has had little
inclination to concern herself
with her husband's feelings.
She might have enjoyed her
success and avoided wounding
him had she been a little more
sensitive to his feelings.
In short, we think both
partners in this case are being
a bit selfish. Frank seems to
demand that Evelyn sacrifice
the fruits ot her worK over
the past decade as proof of
love for him. Evelyn asks
only to be allowed to go on as
she has been without consid
eration for any wifely re
sponsibilities. '
Frank needs something to
give him a new interest in
life. It might be the explora
tion of a new aspect of his
work or a hobby. In either
case,' he will probably find a
resurgence of energy. Evelyn
on the other hand, should ac
cept the fact that her work
slow-down will come sooner
or later and that her relation
ship with her husband has the
possibility- of growing richer
and fuller with the years if it
gets the proper nourishment.

His mother has big dreams for him. She sees him as
a doctor, a lawyer, or a merchant chief. Or maybe
a missionary, a scientist, or a Congressman. Who
knows? maybe even President of the United States!
In her eyes there's no limit to what he could do. And
maybe there isn't in a world at peace.
But what can she do about it? After all, keeping peace
is a big thing, and she's only one person.
And yet what could anybody do to keep the peace
If everybody felt there was nothing he could do?
There is a way a very important way the average
citizen can help promote peace. It's by investing in U. S.
Savings Bonds. Think about this:
Peace costs money. Money for military and industrial
strength to keep the peace. Money for science and edu
cation. And money saved by individuals by you to
keep our economy strong.
A strong America is a mighty .force for peace and
Savings Bonds help. Think it over. Are you buying as
many as you might?
