For some time a need has been felt for an accurate method of blood sugar estimation, which would require only a very small amount of blood. Such a method has become particularly desirable in connection with the insulin treatment of infants, small children and others, from whom the usual amount of blood cannot be readily taken. It would be again of value in studying the blood sugar curves of adults under insulin treatment from whom blood must be taken at frequent intervals. A number of methods requiring comparatively small amounts of blood have been devised,1but for one reason or another none seems to have come into general use for routine clinical work. Some methods require that the blood be weighed, which procedure, while tending toward greater accuracy, practically eliminates the method for rapid clinical work. Other methods involve the collection of the blood from a bleeding surface in |
