These studies report attempts to induce ketosis in diabetic patients in order to obtain more information about fat and ketone metabolism in different clinical types of diabetes mellitus. All patients with diabetes mellitus have impaired ability to accelerate the metabolism of carbohydrate leading to varying degrees of hyperglycemia and glycosuria. As well as this abnormality in carbohydrate metabolism, there are abnormalities in fat and ketone metabolism which are different in the various clinical types of patients with diabetes mellitus. These studies were designed to quantitate some of these differences.
