Extract

This paper is concerned with two schizophrenic patients showing unusual complications of Sakel's insulin coma therapy. The first had a series of attacks of spontaneous hypoglycaemia apparently uninfluenced by the temporary withholding of insulin; the other developed diabetes mellitus a short time after finishing his treatment.
