Aa food 1 eaten tbe augar entera the blood. Tbe normal individual keepa thin blood level controlled.' but (be diabetic cannot. The cella, unable to get the augar, aend signals to various organa to release more carbohydrates, thus elevating the blood levela even higher. The liver, which normally stores augar at meal time for release between meals, releases all it has. Tjje fat cells mobilize fats which the liver converts to' more sugar. The muscles release protein which is burned for sugar. This ' process continues to fill the blood with sugar and the cells continue to demand more, for they are not able to get that which is flowing passed. The kidneys, which normally filter the blood, are overwhelmed by tbe sugar load and begin to spill carbohydrates into tbe urine. The liver, too, pecomes overwhelmed by the' work of converting fats to sugar, and like the alcoholic, begins to jemlnl . enlarge. Acids are also produced in the conversion' of fats to sugar.' As these acids accumulate the individual feels ill, and progresses to coma and death. This is called acidosis, and results when there js" too much sugar in the system. ' The opposite extreme, called insulin shock, occurs when there is too little sugar. Symptoms of both states are similar. and often cause a problem for a doctor too much or freating a diabetic in coma Both too little sugar. groups exhibit and vomitnausea headache,' weakness, unconsciousness, drowsiness, poma, ing, I ' mmi tm py Laurence Cutler Indian ReaUh Spryice death.
