The viscosity of the whole blood, plasma and serum, haematocrit and plasma fibrinogen were studied in diabetic patients with (DR) and without (D) retinopathy and in non-diabetic control subjects (C). Blood viscosity was significantly higher in diabetics than in controls. No significant differences

Ten diabetic children supplemented their normal diets with 0.45 g/kg/day guar gum for 4 weeks. They experienced a decrease in (1) plasma fibrinogen, (2) insulin requirement, (3) serum osmolality and (4) plasma viscosity; and an increase in serum albumin and total serum protein concentrations. The de
Among the secondary complications of diabetes, early stages of retinopathy and nephropathy are of foremost importance in paediatrics. Regular examinations of retinal status and of urinary albumin excretion therefore become necessary with the onset of puberty or after 5 years of diabetes duration. Wi
