Nine of ten non-obese non-ketotic diabetics attending Port Moresby General Hospital had detectable C-peptide in plasma. All had received insulin for at least two months at the time of study. It is concluded that many non-obese non-ketotic young diabetics in Papua New Guinea retain pancreatic insulin secretion and so resemble the maturity onset diabetics of "Western" countries.
在莫尔斯比港总医院就诊的十名非肥胖非酮症糖尿病患者中，有九人的血浆中可检测到C肽。在研究时，所有人都已接受胰岛素治疗至少两个月。得出的结论是，巴布亚新几内亚的许多非肥胖非酮症年轻糖尿病患者保留了胰腺胰岛素分泌，因此类似于“西方”国家的成年发病型糖尿病患者。
