The care of the diabetic child in general practice.

One child in a thousand under the age of 15 years has clinical diabetes. Such children require insulin once or twice daily. Their diabetes is usually best controlled with a diet that provides adequate nutrition for growth and a carbohydrate allowance that balances the hypoglycaemic effect of their insulin. With good initial training in the care of their child, intelligence and emotional stability, families usually cope well with diabetes and allow him to lead a normal life during childhood.

Management of the young diabetic in general practice.

The doctor and both parents should share a complete understanding of the principles of optimal control of a child's diabetes. The most realistic aim of management is to achieve near normal blood glucose concentrations in the few hours before meals rather than in the post-absorptive period. Initial stabilisation and training of the young diabetic is usually best-carried out in a hospital. However, day-to-day problems encountered by the established diabetic will present to the family doctor for management. Occasional review of the diabetic state, encouragement, and an attempt to solve the day-to-day problems of diabetes will usually allow a diabetic youngster to grow up with confidence and good health.

Plasma lipid values and lipoprotein patterns during adolescence in boys.

Lipid studies were performed on fasting plasma samples in 214 healthy adolescent boys, 11-19 years of age. Ranges of normal values for plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, and normal lipoprotein patterns were established for this age group. The boys were grouped according to puberty rating. A significant increase in triglyceride values was obtained with adolescent maturity. Plasma cholesterol values did not change with age or puberty rating. One boy had hypercholesterolemia and a lipoprotein pattern consistent with Type II hyperlipoproteinemia (Fredrickson). Seventeen boys, all of whom had reached adolescent maturity, had elevated triglyceride values and a marked increase in pre-beta-lipoprotein. It appears from this study that increased concentrations of triglyceride and Type IV hyperlipoproteinemia of Fredrickson may be detected as boys reach maturity at adolescence.
