Abstract
1. The level of lactic acid was found to be 25 mg percent in 95 percent of 186 normal Indians. There was no difference due to sex and age. 2. Level of lactic acid was estimated in blood of normal persons and diabetics Type II patients to observe the effects of food and glucose. There was no change except the level of lactic acid was in higher but in normal range. 3. Hyperglycemia of over 300 mg raised the blood lactic acid in 25 percent of patients. 4. Lactic acid was not affected by hypercholesteremia but was raised in 60 percent of cases with raised blood urea. 5. Lactic acid was found to remain within normal limits in 48 type II diabetics treated with phenformin dose varying from 50 mg to 225 mg per day. The duration of treatment varied from one year to seven years.
