Case 2: A female of 56 years old was diagnosed as diabetes at 54 years old. Her length was 125cm, body weight 42kg, I.Q. 60. Retinopathy: Wagener 3 type. Diabetes was well cotrolled with Tolbutamide 1.5g per day.
The lack of growth hormone which have the insulotrophic action, may induce the weak development of the islet which lead the insufficiency of the insulin secretion by some moments.
