say the insulin that has saved millions of diabetics from death may actually cause one of the disease's most ravaging aftereffects blindness. The first Indications that Insulin may be a two-edged sword came In results of studies with rhesus monkeys. Test results were announced here Sunday by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles. "The results of our study raise important questions concerning whether insulin, apart from its ability to prolong life, may contribute to the development of diabetic proliferate ocular (eye) disease," said Dr, Alan L. Shabo.

Prolifcrative diabetic retinopathy is a disease seen In various stages in the majority of diabetics. As It progresses, the disease can result in bleeding Inside the eyeball, detached retinas and other complications that can severely hamper vision, Shabo and other eye specialists told a science writers' seminar sponsored by Research to Prevent Blindness Inc. (RPB) that insulin hfcs done diabetics much more good than possible harm. If further research definitely links insulin and eye disease, that would give clues to the process bringing on the ailment and could lead to discovery of ways to reverse or block the disease, they said. Diabetes Is a disease in which the body's ability to burn up sugar Is hampered because the pancreas docs not produce enough insulin.

TMe ddnditloh is controlled through substituting insulin from animals, mainly cows, or through weight control anddieV, RPB, a foundation supporting eye research, says statistics, show some '10, million Americans have of these cases undlagnosed. Among persons with diabetes for more than show the eye disease present In various stages In 64 per cent. For those with diabetes for IB 20 years, more than 90 per. cent have eye disease. Shabo said monkeys were made allergic to Insulin so their bodies' defense systems reacted to it.

When Insulin was Injected into the eyeballs of the "sensitized" monkeys, he said, they developed eye disease "with many features similar to those of diabetic patients." In 1930, 'when animal Insulin was not In wide use, new cases of diabetes blindness were less than per cent of the national total, he said. But It Aw accounts for more than 15 per cent of new cases. Life expectancy for diabetics improved. dramatically: ylth Insulin therapy, Shabo said, and "It is often asserted that this Increased longevity accounts for the Increasing the eye disease. The new findings cast doubt on this explanation, he said, 'ia Governor Keeps Opti Open for Being Delegate TOPEKA, Kan.
