INTRODUCTION. 
 
 A LTHOUGH Dr. Allen's modifications of the 
 
 /jk classical treatment of saccharine diabetes 
 ■*■ ■*- have been in use only for about two years in 
 the hands *of their author, and for a much shorter 
 time in those of other physicians, it seems to me al- 
 ready clearly proven that Dr. Allen has notably ad- 
 vanced our ability to combat the disease. 
 
 One of the difficulties which is likely to prevent the 
 wide adoption of his treatment is the detailed knowl- 
 edge of food composition and calory value which it 
 requires. Dr. Hill's little book should afford sub- 
 stantial aid to all who have not had opportunity of 
 working out in detail the progressive series of diets 
 which should be used after the starvation period. 
 These diets, worked out by Miss Eckman, head 
 of the diet kitchen at the Massachusetts General 
 Hospital, have seemed to me to work admirably 
 with the patients who have taken them, both in hos- 
 pital and private practice. The use of thrice boiled 
 vegetables, as recommended by Dr. Allen, seems to 
 be a substantial step in advance, giving as it does a 
 considerable bulk of food without any considerable 
 carbohydrate portion, and with the semblance of 
 some of the forbidden vegetables. 
 
 It is of course too early to say how far reaching 
 and how permanent the effects of such a diet will be 
 in the severe and in the milder cases of diabetes. All 
 we can say is that thus far it appears to work admir- 
 ably well. To all who wish to give their patients the 
 benefit of this treatment I can heartily recommend 
 this book. Richard C. Cabot. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 THE purpose of this little book is to furnish to 
 the general practitioner in compact form the 
 details of the latest and most successful treat- 
 ment of diabetes mellitus. 
 
 The "starvation treatment" of diabetes, as ad- 
 vanced by Dr. Frederick M. Allen of the Rockefeller 
 Institute Hospital, is undoubtedly a most valuable 
 treatment. At the Massachusetts General Hospital 
 it has been used for several months with great suc- 
 cess, and it is thought worth while to publish some of 
 the diets, and details of treatment that have been 
 used there, as a very careful control of the proteid 
 and carbohydrate intake is of the utmost importance 
 if the treatment is to be successful. In carrying out 
 the Allen treatment the physician must think in 
 grams of carbohydrate and proteid — it is not enough 
 simply to cut down the supply of starchy foods; he 
 must know approximately how much carbohydrate 
 and proteid his patient is getting each day. It is not 
 easy for a busy practitioner to figure out these dietary 
 values, and for this reason the calculated series of 
 diets given here may be of service. The various tests 
 for sugar, acetone, etc., can, of course, be found in 
 any good text-book of chemistry, but it is thought 
 worth while to include them here for the sake of com- 
 pleteness and ready reference. The food table covers 
 most of the ordinary foods. 
 
 We wish to thank Dr. Roger I. Lee and Dr. Wil- 
 liam H. Smith, visiting physicians, for many helpful 
 suggestions. 
 
DETAILS OF TREATMENT. 
 
 The details of the treatment of diabetes as carried 
 out at the Massachusetts General Hospital, are as 
 follows : — 
 
 For forty-eight hours after admission to the hos- 
 pital the patient is kept on ordinary diet, to deter- 
 mine the severity of his diabetes. Then he is put to 
 bed, and no food allowed save whiskey and black 
 coffee. The water intake need not be restricted. The 
 whiskey is given in the coffee: 1 ounce of whiskey 
 every two hours, from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. This fur- 
 nishes roughly about 800 calories. Soda bicarbonate 
 may be given, two drachms every 3 hours, if there is 
 much evidence of acidosis, as indicated by strong ace- 
 tone and diacetic reactions in the urine, or a strong 
 acetone odor to the breath. In most oases, however, 
 this is not at all necessary, and there is no danger of 
 producing coma by the starvation. This is indeed 
 the most important point that Dr. Allen has brought 
 out in his treatment. The patient is kept in bed and 
 starved until he is sugar-free. (The daily weight and 
 daily urine examinations are, of course, recorded.) 
 The disappearance of the sugar is rapid : if there has 
 been 5 or 6 per cent, after the first starvation day it 
 goes down to perhaps 2 per cent., and the next day 
 the patient may be entirely sugar-free, or perhaps 
 have 2 or 3 per cent, of sugar. Occasionally it may 
 take longer ; the longest we have starved any patient 
 is four days. The patients tolerate starvation 
 
10 STARVATION TKEATMENT 
 
 remarkably well; in no cases have we seen any bad 
 results from it. There may be a slight loss of weight, 
 perhaps three or four pounds, but this is of no mo- 
 ment, and indeed, Allen says that a moderate loss of 
 weight in most diabetics is to be desired. A moder- 
 ately obese patient, weighing say about 180 pounds, 
 may continue to excrete a small amount of sugar for 
 a considerable period, if he holds this weight, even if 
 he is taking very little carbohydrate; whereas, if his 
 weight can be reduced to 170 or 160, he can be kept 
 sugar-free, with ease, on the same diet. We have not 
 found that the acetone and diacetic acid output be- 
 haves in any constant manner during starvation; in 
 some cases we have seen the acetone bodies disappear 
 during starvation; in others we have seen them ap- 
 pear when they were not present before. Their ap- 
 pearance is not necessarily a cause for alarm. The 
 estimation of the ammonia in the urine is of some 
 value in determining the amount of acidosis present, 
 and this can be done readily by the simple chemical 
 method given below. If the 24 hourly ammonia out- 
 put reaches over 3 or 4 grams, it means that there is 
 a good deal of acidosis — anything below this is not 
 remarkable. 
 
 When the patient is sugar-free he is allowed up 
 and is put upon a diet of so-called "5% vegetables,'' 
 i.e. vegetables containing approximately 5% carbo- 
 hydrate. 
 
 These vegetables must be thrice boiled, with 
 changes of water. In this way their carbohydrate 
 content is reduced, probably about one-half. A mod- 
 erate amount of fat, in the form of butter, can be 
 
OF DIABETES 11 
 
 given with this vegetable diet if desired. The amount 
 of carbohydrate in these green vegetables is not at 
 all inconsiderable, and if the patient eats as much as 
 he desires, it is possible for him to have an intake of 
 25 or 30 grams, which is altogether too much; the 
 first day after starvation the carbohydrate intake 
 should not be over 15 grams. Tables No. 1 and 2 rep- 
 resent these vegetable diets. The patient is usually 
 kept on diet 1 or 2 for one day, or if the case is a 
 particularly severe one, for two days. The day after 
 the vegetable day, the proteid and fat are raised, the 
 carbohydrate being left at the same figure (diets 2, 3 
 and 4). No absolute rule can be laid down for the 
 length of time for a patient to remain on one diet, 
 but in general we do not give the very low diets such 
 as 2, 3 and 4, for more than a day or two at a time. 
 The diet should be raised very gradually, and it is 
 well not to raise the proteid and carbohydrate at the 
 same time, for it is important to know which of the 
 two is causing the more trouble. The proteid intake 
 may perhaps be raised more rapidly than the carbo- 
 hydrate, but an excess of proteid is very important in 
 causing glycosuria, and for this reason the proteid 
 intake must be watched as carefully as the carbo- 
 hydrate. This is one of the important points brought 
 out in Allen's treatment. The fat may soon be raised 
 to 200 grams ; higher than this we do not generally go. 
 If sugar appears in the urine during the process of 
 raising the diet we drop back to a lower diet, and if 
 this is unavailing, start another starvation day, and 
 raise the diet more slowly. But it will be found if 
 the diet is raised very slowly, sugar will not appear. 
 
12 STAKVATION TEEATIENT 
 
 It is not well to push the average case ; if the patient 
 is taking a fair diet, say proteid 50, carbohydrate 50, 
 and fat 200, and is doing well, without any glyco- 
 suria, it is not desirable to raise the diet any further. 
 The caloric intake may seem rather low in some of 
 these diets, but it is surprising how well most patients 
 do on 1800 or 2000 calories, and how little weight 
 they lose. If it is desired to raise the caloric value 
 of the diet, fat can be added in the form of cream, 
 bacon or butter. 
 
 It will be seen that the treatment can be divided 
 into three stages: — 
 
 (1) The stage of starvation, when the patient is 
 becoming sugar-free. 
 
 (2) The stage of gradually working up the diet to 
 the limit of tolerance. 
 
 During the first two stages a daily weight record 
 should be kept, and the urine should be examined 
 every day. In the case of an intelligent patient, he 
 can be easily taught to test his own urine for sugar. 
 
 (3) The stationary stage, when the diet is kept at 
 a constant level. During this period the urine should 
 be tested for sugar twice a week, and if sugar is pres- 
 ent the patient should go back to a lower diet. If he 
 cannot be made sugar-free by taking a lower diet, he 
 should be starved again. 
 
 If this treatment is to be successful, it is absolutely 
 necessary for the patient to adhere very strictly to 
 the diets, and to measure out everything very care- 
 fully ; the meat especially should be weighed. 
 
 It will be noticed in some cases the calories in the 
 
OF DIABETES 13 
 
 diets do not tally exactly with the proteid, fat and 
 carbohydrate values. The reason for this is that for 
 the sake of convenience the calories have been given 
 in round numbers — 5 or 10 calories one way or the 
 other makes no difference. 
 
 The essential points brought out by Allen's treat- 
 ment are as follows: — 
 
 (1) It is not dangerous to starve a diabetic, and 
 two or three days of starvation almost always make a 
 patient sugar-free, thus saving a good deal of time, as 
 contrasted with the old treatment of gradually cut- 
 ting down the carbohydrate. 
 
 (2) It is not desirable for all diabetics to hold their 
 weight. Some cases may do much better if their 
 weight is reduced ten, fifteen, or even twenty pounds. 
 
 (3) After starvation, the diet must be raised very 
 slowly, to prevent recurrence of glycosuria. 
 
 (4) An excess of proteid must be regarded as pro- 
 ducing glycosuria, and the proteid intake must be 
 restricted a good deal more than has been the custom 
 in treating diabetes. 
 
EXAMINATION OF THE URINE. 
 
 Directions for Collecting Twenty-four Hour Urine. 
 
 Pass the urine at 7 a.m. and throw it away. 
 
 Save all the urine passed after this up to 7 a.m. the 
 next day. Pass the urine exactly at 7 a.m., and add 
 it to what has previously been passed. 
 
 Qualitative Sugar Tests. 
 
 (1) Fehling's Test : — Boil about 4 c.c. of Fehling's* 
 solution in a test tube, and add to the hot Fehling's 
 an equal amount of urine, a few drops at a time, boil- 
 ing after each addition. 
 
 A yellow or red precipitate indicates sugar. 
 
 For practical purposes in the following of a 
 diabetic's daily urine, this is a valuable test, and the 
 one which we always use. 
 
 (2) Benedict's Test:— To 5 c.c. of Benedict 'sf re- 
 agent add 8 drops of the urine to be examined. The 
 fluid is boiled from 1 to 2 minutes and then allowed 
 to cool of itself. If dextrose is present there results 
 
 * Fehling's solution is prepared as follows : 
 
 (a) Copper sulphate solution: 34.65 gm. of copper sulphate dissolved in 
 water and made up to 500 c.c. 
 
 (b) Alkaline tartrate solution: 125 gm. of potassium hydroxide and 
 173 gm. of Rochelle salt dissolved in water and made up to 500 c.c. 
 
 These solutions are kept in separate bottles and mixed in equal volumes 
 when ready for use. 
 
 f Benedict's solution has the following composition: 
 Copper sulphate, 17.3 gm. 
 Sodium citrate, 173.0 gm. 
 Sodium carbonate (anhydrous), 100 gm. 
 Distilled water to 1000 c.c. 
 
16 STARVATION TREATMENT 
 
 a red, yellow, or green precipitate, depending upon 
 the amount of sugar present. If no sugar is present 
 the solution may remain perfectly clear or he slightly 
 turhid, due to precipitated urates. 
 
 This is a more delicate test than Fehling's. 
 
 Quantitative Sugar Tests. 
 
 (1) The Fermentation Test: — The fermentation 
 test is the simplest quantitative test for sugar, and is 
 quite accurate enough for clinical work. It is per- 
 formed as follows: The specific gravity of the 24° 
 urine is taken, and 100 c.c. of it put into a flask, and 
 a quarter of a yeast cake crumbled up and added to 
 it. The flask is then put in a warm place (at about 
 body temperature) and allowed to remain over night. 
 The next morning a sample of the fermented urine is 
 tested for sugar. If no sugar is present the urine is 
 made up to 100 c.c. (to allow for the water that has 
 evaporated) and the specific gravity taken again. 
 The number of points loss in specific gravity is multi- 
 plied by .23, and this gives the percentage of sugar in 
 the urine. 
 
 (2) Benedict's Test: — The best quantitative test 
 for dextrose (excepting polaroscopic examination, 
 which is too complicated for ordinary work) is Bene- 
 dict's test. 
 
 It is performed as follows : Measure with a pipette 
 25 c.c. of Benedict's solution into a porcelain dish, 
 add 5 or 10 gm. (approximately) of solid sodic car- 
 bonate, heat to boiling, and while boiling, run in the 
 urine until a white precipitate forms. 
 
OF DIABETES 17 
 
 Then add the urine more slowly until the last trace 
 of blue disappears. The urine should be diluted so 
 that not less than 10 c.c. will be required to give the 
 amount of sugar which the 25 c.c. of reagent is cap- 
 able of oxidizing. 
 
 Calculation : 5, divided by the number of c.c. of 
 urine run in, equals the per cent, of sugar. 
 
 Benedict's quantitative solution is prepared as 
 follows: Dissolve 9.0 gm. of copper sulphate in 100 
 c.c. distilled water. (The copper sulphate must be 
 weighed very accurately.) Dissolve 50 gm. anhy- 
 drous sodic carbonate, 100 gm. sodic citrate, and 65 
 gm. of potassium sulpho cyanate in 250 c.c. of dis- 
 tilled water. 
 
 Pour the copper solution slowly into the alkaline 
 citrate solution. Then pour the mixed solution into 
 the flask without loss, and make up to 500 c.c. ; 25 c.c. 
 of this solution is reduced by 50 mgm. of dextrose, 52 
 mgm. of levulose or 67 mgm. of lactose. 
 
 (3) Acetone Test: — To 5 c.c. of urine in a test 
 tube add a crystal of sodium nitro prusside. Acidify 
 with glacial acetic acid, shake a moment, and then 
 make alkaline with ammonium hydrate. A purple 
 color indicates acetone. 
 
 (4) Diacetic Acid Test: — To 5 c.c. of urine in a 
 test tube add an excess of a 10%> solution of Ferric 
 chloride. A Burgundy red color indicates diacetic 
 acid. 
 
 Quantitative Test for Ammonia. 
 
 To 25 c.c. of urine add 5 c.c. of a saturated solu- 
 
18 STARVATION TEEATMENT 
 
 tion of potassium oxalate and 2 to 3 drops of phe- 
 nolphthalein. 
 
 Bun in from a burette deeinormal sodic hydrate, to a 
 faint pink color. Then add 5 c.e. of formalin (40% 
 commercial) and again titrate to the same color. 
 
 Each c.c. of the deeinormal alkali used in this last 
 titration equals 1 c.c. of n/10 ammonia, or .0017 gm. 
 of ammonia. Multiply this by the number of c.c. n/10 
 sodic hydrate used in the last titration; this gives 
 the number of grams of ammonia in 25 c.c. urine. 
 
 Note: — The potassium oxalate and the formalin 
 must both be neutral to phenolphthalein. 
 
DIETS. 
 
 In the following diets the vegetables listed, except- 
 ing lettuce, cucumbers, celery, and raw tomatoes, are 
 boiled. In the very low carbohydrate lists they are 
 thrice boiled. When possible to obtain the figures, 
 the analyses for boiled vegetables have been used in 
 computation. 
 
 As the allowance becomes more liberal the person 
 preparing the diet will be able to vary the menu in 
 many ways. Soups, ice cream, custards, salads, — all 
 may be prepared from the articles mentioned. Sea- 
 sonings of salt, pepper, paprika, also flavorings and 
 vinegar are allowed. 
 
 When the patient is compelled to remain on a 
 very limited diet for a considerable length of time 
 and becomes very hungry, the lists representing most 
 bulk should be selected. In addition to this, bran 
 cakes may be given, made by the rule as stated below. 
 As each cake yields no carbohydrate and only about 
 18 calories from the protein and fat, the patient may 
 take 6 or 8 in one day or even more. 
 
 BRAN CAKES. 
 
 2 cups bran 
 
 2 tablespoons melted butter 
 
 2 whole eggs 
 
 1 egg white 
 
 y 2 grain saccharine — salt 
 
20 STARVATION TREATMENT 
 
 Tie bran in a piece of cheese cloth and wash by 
 squeezing water through and through. Wring dry. 
 Dissolve saccharine in 1 teaspoon water. Mix bran, 
 beaten eggs, saccharine and salt. Beat remaining egg 
 white stiff and fold in at the last. Shape with knife 
 and tablespoon into twenty-five small cakes. Bake 
 until golden brown.

 Dr. Edwin A. Locke's book of food values has been 
 of much value in making up these diets. 
 
70 STARVATION TREATMENT 
 
 The following food values are taken from Locke's 
 Abstract of Atwater and Bryant's Bulletin No. 28, 
 1906, United States Department of Agriculture. 
 
 Fractions of per cents, have been left off in order 
 to make the use of the table more simple, and the 
 values given will be found quite accurate enough for 
 clinical purposes.
