    Cortisol binding capacity (C. B. C.) in plasma was measured in 51 diabetics (32 male, 19 female) and 32 healthy subjects (23 male, 9 female) with the aid of Doe and Seals' method.
    Diabetic group showed a significantly lower C. B. C. values than the healthy group (p<0.01), which was more prominent in male patients.
    In order to explore the cause of such decline in C. B. C. in diabetic patients, various possible factors were correlated with C. B. C.
    No direct relationship was established between C. B. C. levels and plasma cortisol concentrations, fasting blood sugar levels or degree of excess in body weight. Also, there was no tendency that lowering of C. B. C. was predominant among patients with diabetic heredity.
    There was a linear relationship between C. B. C. and serum albumin in the diabetic patients (y=4.05x+13.7, p<0.01). Furthermore, there exhibited a tendency that the more the patients suffered from diabetic complications (nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy), the lower C. B. C. as well as serum albumin concentration they had.
    The results of these studies indicate that hypoalbuminemia due to diabetic nephropathy, through an unknown mechanism, may play a leading role in lowering C. B. C. in the diabetic patients. Alternatively, however, there still exists a possibility that inborn impairment of C. B. C. in diabetic patients was accompanied by increment of native free cortisol, which in turn deteriorates the diabetic compications.

    100 g glucose tolerance test (GTT) and cortisonglucose tolerance test (CGTT) were performed on 43 spersons of 2 potential, 3 renale diabetic and 38 latent diabetic patients. GTT and CGTT of 43 persons were ystematically tested during 5 years. Eighteen persons had diabetic relatives, 25 persons had not. The grades of abnormalities of GTT and CGTT were classified to N, L and D, depending on their blood glucose values at 1 and 2 hours after glucose loading.
    The persons who showed L in GTT and L or D in CGTT at the beginning of these experiments became diabetic in 4-5 years more frequently than the persons who showed N in GTT or CGTT at the beginning of experiment. Especially in the cases of L, D type of CGTT, this tendency was apparent regardless to their data in GTT. Considering the changes of GTT in each person during the 5 year's observation, data of GTT was well coincide with that of CGTT.
    Judging from the results of time-course studies on the latent diabetic persons who showed N or L in GTT, they were supposed to have constant metabolic disorders and the considerable possibility to become diabetic if they showed D in CGTT.
    It is recognized that CGTT is very valuable, especially to the cases with N or L in GTT, that is normal or slightly abnormal glucose tolerance.
