Six months later the monkey was found comatose. Laboratory findings of extreme hyperglycemia, hyperosmolality, and glycosuria without ketonuria were consistent with a diagnosis of hyperosmolar, non-ketotic diabetic coma (NKC). Further laboratory studies disclosed very low levels of immunoreactive insulin and depressed free fatty acid values. Growth hormone and cortisol levels were within normal limits.
