[A program for the prevention of diabetes mellitus in Lithuania].

The Programme on Diabetes Mellitus Control is a constituent part of Integrated Programme on Chronic Non-infectious Diseases Control. The epidemiological evidence has demonstrated the high prevalence of deranged carbohydrate metabolism in the republic. Registers of carbohydrate metabolism disorders were created for the children's population of the Republic and the adult population of Kaunas and two agricultural-industrial regions. A school for diabetic patients and the society 'Insula' were organised. The research-practical programme is implemented in stages.

[Blood insulinase activity in patients with diabetes mellitus].

An original method was used for a study of blood insulinase activity in patients with type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus which was decreased as compared to that in healthy persons and in persons with disturbed glucose tolerance. A GTT caused no significant variations of this index. Relations between lowered blood capability to degenerate insulin in diabetes mellitus and a rise of antiinsulinase activity of the plasma with preserved normal insulinase activity of erythrocytic hemolysate were established.

[Performing and interpretating the glucose tolerance test].

Certain conditions like drug use, diet, physical activity, etc., must be adhered to while running the glucose tolerance test. The Second WHO Expert Committee on Diabetes Mellitus (1979) suggested that the oral glucose tolerance test should be carried out with 75 g of glucose (for children 1.75 g/kg of ideal body mass but not over 75 g). During epidemiological investigations a glucose solution should be prepared by a constant concentration method using an areometer. Schematic interpretation expressed in the rectangular coordinate system reflecting diagnosis was offered for the estimation of findings.
