The necessity of consulting a medical man as early as possible in cases of diabetes was emphasised hv a Christchurch doctor. “People delay treatment with insulin because of the impression that has been started i.irough the newspapers and other sources that once the treatment is commenced, it has to he kept up for the remainder of their lives.” said the speaker. “ I hey seem to think that it is a narcotic such as opium, and are frightened of becoming victims. They delay so long that when they do come they are blind, crippled, or are in a very advanced stage of diabetes.” Such ideas as these, he added, were the cause of much misery. and there was no such danger of becoming drug addicts. The cost ol the treatment was now easily in the power nl most people, and it was only in the most severe cases that the cost was a great deal. Diabetes patients were still increasing in numbers, hut the medical profession were still labouring under the handicap ol people holding off too long, making the cases much more difficult to deal with.
