Are we helping or harming our insulin-treated diabetic patients during ambulatory treatment? Ann Agric Environ Med. 2013; 20(2): 346–350. Abstract Introduction. Correctness of insulin treatment depends on both the experience and skills of the doctor and knowledge and behaviour of the patient. Objective. Evaluation the adequacy of insulin doses administered to diabetes patients in ambulatory conditions. Material and methods. The treatment of 59 patients hospitalized in the Diabetology Ward was evaluated at admission, discharge and 3 months after hospitalization. Results. The mean daily doses of insulin significantly differed at times of evaluation and were: 53.90, 39.31 and 43.34 units, respectively (p≈0.000001). A significant reduction of body weight, 90.86 vs. 88.25 kg (p≈0.000001), was obtained only during hospitalization, and was maintained 3 months after discharge (87.86 kg). Significant differences were also noted in the body mass index (33.44 vs. 32.48 vs. 32.37 kg/m2, p≈0.000001). The change in waist circumference was not statistically significant (107.87 vs. 104.89 cm; p≈0.06).

D OISY Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1969 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. PHILIP ANDERSON SHAFFER September 20,1881-December 4,1960 BY EDWARD A. DOISY HILIP ANDERSON SHAFFER was born in Martinsburg, West Vir- Pginia, on September 20, 1881. His ancestors on his mother's side had lived in the Shenandoah Valley from pre-Revolutionary War days and on his father's side from 1795. His grandfather, Philip Anderson, was a physician who studied medicine in Philadelphia and upon completion of his studies received a diploma signed by Dr. Weir Mitchell. Apparently inspired by Dr. Mitchell, he stayed in Philadelphia several years for more experience and training and subsequently took a year of graduate work at the University of Virginia. He returned to the Shenan- doah Valley, married Mary Dyer, and engaged in the practice of medicine. The eldest daughter of Dr. Philip Anderson, Hannah, had attended a finishing school and at the time of her marriage to Joseph Shaffer in 1880 she was teaching music in a school in Winchester. The newly wedded couple began married life in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and Philip Anderson Shaffer was born in 1881. It appears that the achievements of his grandfather in medicine, which were recounted in the family circle during his early life, played an important role in his later choice of a profession.
