Seventy-five per cent of cases of strokes in the euglycemic goup presented as ischaemia (15 out of 20) and five cases in the same group occurred as haemorrhage (5 out of 15). All stress hyperglycaemic strokes were haemorrhagic (100%), and also all the strokes occurred in the new diabetic group were haemorrhagic strokes (100%). 85.71% of stroke in the known diabetic group were haemorrhagic strokes (12 out of 14). This shows that haemorrhagic strokes occurred in the hyperglycaemic patients, maximum being in the stress hyperglycaemia and new diabetics (Table III).
