Abstract

Insulin was found out in erythrocytes of patients with diabetes mellitus, in subjects with hereditary predisposition to this disease and in the control group by means of cytochemical method. Insulin-containing erythrocyte (ICE) number was reduced in patients with an evident form of diabetes mellitus and in 50% of patients of the 2nd group (less than 60%). Of them, 10% showed the curves of diabetes mellitus, whereas those of the other 20.3% were questionable and 70% had the normal glycemic curves. The latter are regarded as prediabetic patients.
