The work deals with the features of the course of gastric and duodenal ulcers in diabetes mellitus and the frequency and pattern of the complications. The authors recommend criteria for preparation for surgical treatment, methods for compensation of the disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism, and the methods of postoperative management of such patients. The late-term results and analysis of treatment are discussed briefly. The coexistence of peptic ulcer and diabetes mellitus is a rare occurrence. During a 20-year period 31 patients were treated at the clinic, 21 of them underwent operation, in 5 patients an operation was considered inexpedient, another 5 patients refused to be operated on. The postoperative period was free of complications in 19 patients, there were no fatal outcomes.
