Abstract: I8 20 22 24 DAYS OF TREATMENT FIG.2.-Fasting and noon blood sugars, glycosuria, ketosis, and dosage of lente insulin in a male patient aged 40.New case; control good.There have been remarkably few hypoglycaemic reac- tions either in the in-patients or in the out-patients.Such reactions as have occurred have been quite typical and relatively mild, except in one or two instances in which the dose given has been clearly too large and had to be greatly reduced.Reactions have been observed at 10 a.m., three hours after injection, and at noon in the same patient, but not on the same day.The commonest times at which patients on lente insulin before breakfast are liable to have hypoglycaemic reactions appear to be during the morning or afternoon.Nocturnal reactions are uncommon in our experience, and hypoglvcaemia rarely occurs in the early hours of the morning.
