Summary. Experiences during the 10 years' period 1934–1943 in regard to 169 cases of children's diabetes without any dietetic restrictions whatever were very favourable. The children showed a good physical and mental development and a minimum of coma, hypoglycemia or other complications. The total mortality was merely 4.7% Protamin insulin in doses of 10–120 units per day entailed less tendency to hypoglycemia than zinc protamin insulin. As a rule one injection per day was found sufficient Stress is laid on the necessity of close cooperation with the homes, if good results are to be obtained.
