Abstract

In the great majority of cases of human diabetes mellitus the syndrome is primary and idiopathic, but diabetes has long been known to be an inevitable consequence of complete excision of the pancreas, or sometimes even of partial destruction of the panceas by injury or disease, while in experimental animals, selective toxic destruction of the islets of Langerhans will cause diabetes mellitus. Diabetes may also develop as a secondary consequence of over-function of the cortex or medulla of the suprarenal glands, the anterior pituitary, the thyroid gland or secretory neoplasms of any of these endocrine organs.
