摘要
Devoted to the study of blood glucose and insulin metabolism for most of his professional life,Dr.Kraft now explains laboratory analysis not only as most diabetic books,on children and middle age,but also has a special section devoted to ages 61−90+,of special importance for geriatricians.It contains the summary of experience with 14,384 oral glucose tolerance tests with simultaneous insulin levels,measured while he was chief of pathology of St.Joseph Hospital,Chicago,Illinois.No parallel experience has been recorded elsewhere.The book should awaken the millions of people with diabetes who do not recognize its presence.
