ship, George Mitchell; pro-

ed out.
Isabel Burke and Teresa
Courtney, voting delegates
and Sheila Bauer, fund
raiser, attended the semi -
'annual convention held at
the Ramada Inn, London,
Ontario on April 23 and 24.
Special speaker, Professor
Michael Bliss of the Univer-
sity of Toronto spoke on his
book, "The Discovery of In-
sulin", using photographic
slides of his research
materials.
This discovery was one of
the few events of world
significance ever to happen
in Canada because of its im-
portance to diabetics and in
the development of modern
medicine. Bliss' book
multiplied the number of dis-
coverers from two (F.G.
Banting and C.H. Best) to
four and revealed enough
glory in their achievement
for forty. J.B. Collip and
J.J.R. Macleod were each
given credit for their parts.
Coma meant death to the
pre -insulin generation. Pro-
fessional doctors and nurses
marvelled at what insulin
could -do when those "dead"
people came back to life. In
his book, Prof. Bliss talked
about people witnessing "the
closest approach to the
resurrection of the body"
that our secular society can
achieve. "There is an insulin
glory enough for all because
with insulin the stone was
rolled away and diabetes
became a matter of•life, not
death."
Special after -supper guest
speaker Doctor Cal Stiller,
chief of nephrology and
transplant services, told of
new hope for victims of one
of the most severe forms of
diabetes using the transplant
drug Cyclosporin . While it
would not cure the disease,
the drug may prove capable
of . arresting the diabetic
state, eliminating the need
for insulin injections with the
form of the disease known as
Type 1 juvenile diabetes..
Cyclosporin is an anti-
rejection drug developed
from a Norwegian fungus
and already being given to
organ transplant recipients
to reduce the body's natural
defence responses against
foreign tissue so the body
will accept the organ. This
drug has been used at the
University Hospital
heart, kidney and liver reci-
pients.
In the preliminary trial,
cyclosporin was given to
two different groups of
juvenile diabetics - seven
who had the disease for less
than six weeks and eight who
had it for two to 11 months.
All . seven with the early
diabetes have been able to
reduce their need for insulin
injections 50 percent - three
of them being able to discon-
tinue its usage altogether for
anywhere from nine to 21
weeks while still maintain-
ing good health and normal
blood sugar levels. Those pa-
tients are still off insulin.. .
Between 150,000 and
200,000 Canadians suffer
from diabetes, about 15 per-
cent of them have the
juvenile, Type 1 insulin-
dependent type. Resear-
chers speculate that a kind
lof "auto -immune" process is
occurring in diabetes where
the so-called "islets" of the
pancreas where insulin is
made are destroyed.
In effect, the body may be
somehow treating its own
islets as foreign just as it
does when a foreign organ is
transplanted into it. The
drug might be doing .the
same thing as it does in a
transplant patient by reduc-
ing the body's immunity so it
stops trying to destroy its
islets. These tests offer hope.
