Popis: Dietary restriction of refined carbohydrate with regular meals and exercise, preventative foot care, and often daily inulin injections will reduce the mortality and morbidity from diabetes in Papua New Guinea. It is necessary to explain to both the diabetic and their family practical means of treatment including urine tests for glucose. Regular follow up is essential and the establishment of diabetic clinics in major centres would provide the best means of achieving this.
