[Illustration] The Battle Creek Method in Diabetes Diabetes, though not always curable, is controllable. Practically all diabetics can be made sugar-free and the acidosis disappears with the sugar. By a special regimen the reappearance of the sugar and the acidosis may be prevented. The Battle Creek method is based upon experience gained in the treatment of many hundreds of cases supplemented by the observations and discoveries of Von Noorden, Falta, Guelpa, Benedict, Allen, and numerous other investigators. The essential features of the method are-- 1. A thorough preliminary examination and repeated examinations comprising (a) complete quantitative examination of the urine daily, (b) differential study of the blood, (c) chemical, microscopic and bacteriological examination of the feces and study of the pancreatic function, (d) X-ray examination of the stomach and intestine with special reference to stasis. 2. Study of the patient’s metabolism by the respiration apparatus to determine his respiratory quotient, CO2 tension and basal ratio. 3. Establishment, by the aid of metabolism studies of each case, of a regimen adapted to the individual by determining the proper proportion of protein, fats and carbohydrates to keep the urine free from sugar. The kind of protein, fat and carbohydrate is considered important, as well as the amount. 4. The patient’s metabolism is regulated by baths, voluntary and automatic exercise, photo- and thermotherapy and other physiologic means.
