Abstract:
Employing routine clinical methods, the pulmonary function of 21 type 1 diabetics prior to and after exercise, was examined. In type 1 diabetics, at the time of the manifestation of the disorder, a reversible, seemingly metabolism-related emphysematous expansion was to be seen. In comparison with a control group and diabetics with no late complications, type 1 diabetics with secondary complications proved to have a significantly reduced vital and total capacity with relative hyperexpansion; an obstructive ventilation disorder was not demonstrable. These results are confirmed by those reported in the literature, and suggest the existence of a diabetic pneumopathy.
