32 NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL JOURNAL January, 1962 I iU; medical resources. I would use, but not accept as all inclusive, the history of the previous public health physician in the area. While taking the history, I would do the general physical examination. This would disclose what laboratory aids and specialist consultations were needed for the treatment of my patient—the community. If surveys (the x-ray of the community) were needed, I would make them or go all out to get them done. If consultant services were needed, I would bombard, if need be, state and federal public health agencies for the consultants. As a Public Health Director, I would conceive of my role as a director and act within this conception. I would stay out of services that were being performed adequately for my patient. I would direct all community resources to do for my patient what they could do well. I would be willing to do for my patient that which was not being done or could not be done by other resources. My major objective then, year by year, would be to perfect a team approach to public health problems. Last, I would not rest at ease on my original history and physical. I would always keep in mind that good public health, like good personal health, is a process, not a state. Conclusion I have reviewed what I would do prior to going into Public Health Service and what I would do after becoming a public health director. You ask, "What would you do when your high ideals bogged down in cold realities?" I would go into real estate business and make the money that the community thinks the general practitioner makes. Retrospective Study f D iabetes Mellitus Charles W. Styron, M.D. Raleigh In March, 1958, Dr. A. C. Bulla, Health Director of the Wake County Health Department, suggested that a study of diabetes mellitus in Wake County be made in cooperation with the State Board of Health and the U. S. Public Health Service. Initially consideration was given to the possibility of studying a few patients on specific diets — (1) a high protein diet, and (2) very low protein diets (such as the rice diet)—with simultaneous measurement of associated pituitary and adrenal activity. Such a study was suggested on the theory that high protein diets stimulate and low proetin diets depress the activity of these glands. After some discussion a committee was formed consisting of Drs. D. F. Milam, William Peck, A. C. Bulla, Isa C. Grant, Miss Flora Wakefield, and others. This committee first met in March, 1958, and elected to conduct a diabetes detection study on a Reported to the Section on Public Health. Medical Society of the State of North Carolina. Asheville, May 9, 1961 group of patients over 65 years of age in Wake County. The purpose of the survey was to determine the prevalence of diabetes in this particular age group. Participating groups were the Diabetes Committee, Wake County Medical Society; the Chronic Disease Section, North Carolina State Board of Health; the North Carolina State Laboratory of Hygiene; the Wake County Health Department, and the Wake County Tuberculosis Association. Prior to the survey all physicians practicing in Wake County were notified of the projected study. Later they were sent reports of abnormal blood sugar levels or glycosuria. Material and Methods A list of Wake County residents 65 years of age or older was made available to the Wake County Health Department. Public health nurses visited these persons, obtained their permission and cooperation for the study, and made second visits. Blood and
