Gastric secretion was investigated in 26 patients, mainly with mature age diabetes and mixed type after a maximal stimulation with pentagastrin (6 microgram/kg). No significant difference was established as compared with the healthy subjects. Hypo- and achlorhydria were found in 19.2 per cent of the patients and hyperchlorhydria in 15.4 per cent. Diabetes duration over 5 years, hyperglycemia over 200 mg%, late degenerative syndrome and insulin treatment reduce significantly the majority of the indices of gastric secretion.
