Abstract
1. Epilepsy is associated with a low fasting blood
sugar.
2. The glucose tolerance curve in Epilepsy shows the
Islets of Langerhans to be over-active.
3. Those drugs which are beneficial in Epilepsy raise the blood sugar.
4. In the post-convulsive phase of Epilepsy the
immunity from fits is due to a raised blood
sugar.
5. Variations in the balance of the Autonomic
Nervous System have little influence on the
incidence of fits.
6. Natural recovery from Epilepsy is associated
with the onset of hypo-insulinism.
