Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Progress in fighting DIABETES
What medical science is doing . . .
Great advances have been made in controlling
diabetes. The discovery of insulin in
1921 has led to a much greater life expectancy
for the average diabetic today. For
example, at age 40, the expectancy is more
than twice what it was before insulin was
developed.
Medical science is still on the march. It
has developed different types of insulin.
Some are quick acting with a short term of
effectiveness, while others are slower acting
but longer lasting.
In addition, it has been discovered that
diabetes can be produced experimentally
with a substance called alloxan, as well as by
other means. This may shed new light on
how and why the disease develops. Various
studies, including research with radioactive
isotopes, also offer hope for important advances
in the treatment, and perhaps the
prevention, of diabetes.
What you can do . . .
Recent surveys indicate that in addition
to the million known diabetics, another million
people in our country have diabetes and
are unaware of it. So it is wise for everyone
to keep alert for these warning signals - excessive
thirst, hunger, or urination, continual
fatigue, or loss of weight. It is important
to see a doctor at once if any of these
conditions appear.
Doctors recommend that everyone have
an annual physical examination, including
tests for diabetes. These tests are especially
important for those who have diabetes in
the family, those who are overweight, and
those past 40.
While there is as yet no cure, modern medicine
can generally control diabetes through
insulin, diet, and exercise. By following the
doctor's advice about keeping these three
factors in proper balance, it is usually possible
for the diabetic to live a practically normal life.
