The first day of starvation the sugar dropped to 2.3%, and a slight trace of acetone appeared in the urine. The second day of starvation she was sugar-free, with a moderate acetone reaction. No soda bicarbonate was given. She lost 2 pounds during starvation. After she became sugar-free, her diets were as follows: April 5. Whiskey, 1-1/2 ounces. Protein, 5 grams. Carbohydrate, 12 grams. Fat, 7 grams. No glycosuria. Calories, 213. April 6. Whiskey, 1-1/2 ounces. Protein, 26 grams. Carbohydrate, 18 grams. Fat, 46 grams. No glycosuria. Calories, 768. April 8. Whiskey, 1-1/2 ounces. Protein, 45 grams. Carbohydrate, 22 grams. Fat, 72 grams. No glycosuria. Calories, 1050. April 9. Whiskey, 1-1/2 ounces. Protein, 58 grams. Carbohydrate, 36 grams. Fat, 86 grams. No glycosuria. Calories, 1309. From this her diet was raised gradually until on April 16 she took the following: Bacon, 4 slices. Oatmeal, 2 tablespoonfuls. Bread, 2 slices. Meat, 1 ounce. Cabbage, 5 tablespoonfuls. Spinach, 5 tablespoonfuls. String beans, 5 tablespoonfuls. Butter, 2 ounces. This calculated to, Protein, 64 grams. Carbohydrate, 63 grams. Fat, 113 grams. Calories, 1546. On this diet she excreted .40% sugar. The next day the bread was cut down to one slice, and her sugar disappeared. On April 20 she was taking 4 tablespoonfuls of oatmeal and one slice of bread with her meat and vegetables, and was sugar-free. This diet contained: Protein, 63 grams. Carbohydrate, 59 grams. Fat, 112 grams. Calories, 1521. On April 21, on the same diet, she excreted 1.1% sugar. The next day her oatmeal was cut to 2 tablespoons, giving her about 10 grams less carbohydrate. No glycosuria. She was discharged April 24, sugar-free on Protein, 63 grams. Carbohydrate, 50 grams. Fat, 112 grams. Calories, 1510. There had never been any diacetic acid in her urine, and only a trace of acetone. She lost about 2 pounds during starvation, but gained part of it back again, so that at the discharge she weighed just a pound less than when she entered the hospital. She has been reporting to the Out-patient Department every two weeks, and has never had any sugar, acetone or diacetic acid in the urine, and appears to be in splendid condition. She is taking just about the same diet as when she left the hospital. A rather mild case, which responded readily to treatment. The question is, can she grow and develop on a diet which will keep her sugar-free? * * * * *
