ABSTRACT
A survey of 958 subjects aged 14 years and over living in the Lawrence Tavern area of St. Andrew has been undertaken to establish the incidence of diabetes in the community. An evening specimen of urine was tested for sugar. There were 17 patients with diabetes in the group studied; 3 were known diabetics and 4 new diabetics were discovered. The incidence of 7.3 per 1000 is lower than that found in comparable surveys in Trinidad and America. (AU)
