FALLACIES OF THE 'YEAST METHOD' OF DETECTING GLUCOSE IN THE URINEJAMA, 86
A variety of reducing substances is demonstrable under varying conditions in the human urine. In view of the danger of hypoglycemic shock as a result of nonindicated doses of insulin, it becomes a matter of more than theoretical importance to determine the nature of the substance present in the urine of a patient suspected of having diabetes. It need hardly be emphasized that a reduction of copper solutions is not sufficient for a diagnosis of diabetes. Even a blood sugar higher than normal, as in the case to be presented, may lead one astray. A frequent source of error is the presence of fructose in the urine. Occasionally, as in the present case, one is dealing with pentosuria.
