G !Drew, Waterville; Dr. SargentJ Jealous, Saco; Dr. Lowell M. !Hardy, Dr. Vernon Lowell, Dr. M Carmen Pettapiece and Gerald [Kelley, all of Portlana, directors.~ Doctor Chittenden said that m addition to the educational program. the new society would conduct clinics for the discovery ofj unknown diabetics and provide treatment for diabetics unable to afford services of a private physician.

During this week. various osteopathic hospitals throughout the state, including the Osteopathic Hospital of Maine here, will give free blood sugar tests to persons having symptoms of diabetes.

Diabetic¡Treatment Has Changed Greatly, Doctor Tells Maine Society The concept of treatment of diabetic persons has changed greatly in the past several years, Dr. Lowell M. Hardy said Wednes.

Speaking at a lecture sponsored the Maine Diabetic Society in Portland YMCA, Doctor Hardy that this change has about better results becaust it is easier for the patient to understand and is Jess tedious on the patient.

The lecture was held in connection with Diabetes Detection Week. Doctor Hardy warned the more than 50 who attended that there are "hundreds of unsuspected diabetes cases in Maine:â&#x20AC;˘ He drew attention to the fallacy aften made of diagnosing diabetes by a single positive blood-urine sugar test, and added that it is a fallacy, also, to diagnose a negative patient by a single test.

He pointed out that textbook symptoms are rare among people who have the disease, and declared many sufferers faU to hava many of the usual symptoms.

Doctor Hardy, a member of the American College of Osteopathic Internists and a member of the Board of Examiners of the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine, warned that it is necessary to control diabetes to prevent "irreparable damage at a. later date."

Diabetes is relatively more severe in children than in adults in the early stages, Doctor Hardy r~­ ported. In children the first symptoms usually are diabetic comas, he said. Adults have other symptoms.

Doctor Hardy, who also 1s a member of the Bureau of Hospitals, American Osteopathic Association, said that all osteopathic physicians and hospitals will givlt free tests to the public during Diabetes Week in cooperation with the society.

Harris M. Plaisted of the society presided and introduced the speaker.
