Abstract:The short-term effect of the glucose-controlled insulin infusion system (GCIIS) Biostator on metabolic and hormonal responses to a 2 h glucose infusion (0.33 g/kg body weight glucose i.v. followed by an infusion of 12 mg/kg/min) was studied in 8 insulin-dependent diabetic patients (IDDM). Normalization of glucose tolerance by means of GCIIS was associated with significant improvement of lipid metabolism in IDDM. Endogenous insulin secretion (C-peptide) was not altered significantly under the experimental condi… Show more
