{"product_id":"2940014279116","title":"THE ALLEN (STARVATION) TREATMENT OF DIABETES With a Series of Graduated Diets - 4th Edition (Illustrated)","description":"Almost a hundred years ago, this booklet made available to patients the necessary facts regarding diet in the treatment of diabetes. It includes a graduated series of forty-eight dietary tables providing from 47 to 2,062 calories. In addition, there are over seventy-five recipes and the book is illustrated with tables devoted to food values and diabetic foods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA review from the \"Journal of the Medical Society of New Jersey,\" Volume 12 [1915]:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Starvation Treatment of Diabetes as practiced by Dr. Allen of the Rockefeller Hospital and the Physicians of the Massachusetts General Hospital, by Lewis Webb Hill, M. D., with a series of graduated diets, by Rena S. Eckman, Dietitian. This excellent little work gives Dr. Allen's plan of \"The Starvation Treatment of Diabetes\" as used by the physicians of the Massachusetts General Hospital and contains first, a review of the plan of treatment, following which is a review of the various urinary tests which have been found to be most useful and practical, including a simple test for estimating the daily ammonia output, and after this is a series of graded diets arranged according to the amount of carbohydrate and proteld and also gives the caloric equivalent of each diet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"As Dr. Allen has so ably proved, the starvation of the diabetic is not necessarily followed by the enormous increase of the appearance of the urine, but is followed by the diminution and disappearance of the sugar in the urine. One of the particular things which discourages the general practitioner in the management of his severe cases of diabetes was the fear of inducing a coma by the sudden withdrawal of the carbohydrate from the diet. That this does' not occur, and that a diabetic can be started with impunity is one of the distinct advantages in the management of this class of cases. Another important point to remember, is that an excess of proteid in the diet, even though the diet be carbohydrate free, may account for the lack of disappearance of the sugar in the urine, so that the amount of proteid in the diet must be as carefully regulated as the carbohydrate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The arrangement of a suitable diet, graded as the case improves, becomes to the average physician a matter of the greatest difficulty. This is most carefully arranged and ably planned in this hand book, which should be in the hands of every practitioner who treats these cases.\u003cbr\u003eCASE HISTORY VOLUMES.\"","brand":"OGB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083740791024,"sku":"2940014279116","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014279116_p0.jpg?v=1763604629","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014279116","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
