The behavior of dextrose and electrolytes in the tissues of persons with diabetes is of considerable interest. Seelig¹ has recently reported on the response of diabetic patients to intradermal tests with a solution of sodium chloride and 0.1 per cent dextrose. He found an increased "avidity" of the skin for dextrose in the diabetic as compared with the nondiabetic patient. McClure and Aldrich,² Petersen and Levinson³ and others have reported on the intracutaneous wheal as a measure of permeability in persons with nephritis as well as in normal subjects. There has been a lack of controlled studies on cellular permeability as measured by the absorption time of various solutions in the diabetic as compared with the nondiabetic, so-called normal subject.

The results of a preliminary study, based on the method of Seelig,¹ suggested that the test may be of value, first, in studying differences in absorption . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
