To the research method and to the interpretation of the glycemic response after glucose loading

This report is a part of our work on carbohydrate metabolism in peptic ulcer disease. We mean to dwell on the research methodology and interpretation of the glycemic curve after glucose load, since the study of the violation of carbohydrate metabolism is becoming more and more important in the clinic of internal diseases. Since the regulation of blood sugar is provided by a whole system of organs, it is natural that in very many diseases we meet more or less pronounced disorders of carbohydrate metabolism; so, it is known; that even spontaneous hyperglycemia and glycosuria can occur in diseases of the pancreas, not only in diabetes, but also in pancreatitis, hemorrhages in pancreas, stones, cysts, pancreatic cancer, etc; the same phenomena can occur with anomalies of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, thyroid gland and in other cases.
