| Abstract |
In Spain there are more than half a million diabetics, whose proportion in the population is about the same as worldwide. The disease should, however, not be considered as a handicap. In this article, it is stressed that the occupational physician must pay special attention to the diabetic worker: weight control, visual fatigue, infections and eruptions. He or she must also supervise the diet of these workers and must always be prepared for the possible appearance of comas. A list of 10 basic rules to be followed by diabetics is included. |
