AB This is a manual on diabetes for practitioners, much less so for patients. Aside from the more accurate detail on food values, the book has very little justification for having been printed. The line ration scheme of figuring the diabetic patient's diet deserves some praise, but it is not wholly accurate. The 5 Gm. diet scheme does not have any particular value. It is too simple and superficial a book for the medical man interested in diabetes, and certainly too complicated a manual for the patients.
