Fat, 55 grams. No glycosuria. Calories, 625. Nov. 11. Protein, 38 grams. Carbohydrate, 20 grams. No glycosuria. Fat, 88 grams. Calories, 1055. Nov. 13 two tablespoonfuls of oatmeal were added to her diet, making the carbohydrate intake about 30 grams. This day she showed .6% sugar. She was starved for half a day and became sugar-free again. On Nov. 16 she was taking protein 40, carbohydrate 20, fat 90, calories 1080, and had no glycosuria. Nov. 17 her diet was protein 43, carbohydrate 25, fat 140, calories 1538, and on this diet she showed .5% sugar. The carbohydrate was cut to 15 grams, and kept at this level for 3 days, but she still continued to excrete a trace of sugar, and so on Nov. 21 she was starved again, immediately becoming sugar-free. From this her diet was raised, until on discharge, Nov. 30, she was taking: protein 48, carbohydrate 15, fat 110, calories 1280, and was sugar-free, having been so for 9 days. At entrance she weighed 56 pounds, at discharge 54, and lost 4 pounds during starvation, part of which she gained back again. On the diet which she was taking at discharge, she was just about holding her weight. She never excreted much acetone or diacetic acid, and when she was discharged there was merely the faintest traces of these in the urine. It is not well to raise the diet quite so rapidly as was done in this case, but for special reasons she had to leave the hospital as soon as possible, and so her diets were pushed up a little faster than would ordinarily be the case. Below is a graphic chart, such as we use in recording our cases. It has been split up into several pieces here on account of its size: [Illustration: Case 8.
