The treatment of unstable insulin-dependent diabetics (UIDD) is still an unsolved problem. A comparison was made between optimized conventional treatment (OCT) (Ultralente + Actrapid at breakfast, Actrapid at lunch and Actrapid at dinner) and continuous s.c. insulin infusion (CSII) for 30 days in 10 UIDD outpatients. Continuous 24-h blood glucose monitoring with an artificial pancreas, fasting values of HbA1, plasma lipids, growth hormone, glucagon, daily urinary glucose and protein excretion were recorded after each treatment; a daily blood glucose profile was determined every week. Daily mean blood glucose values dropped significantly (p less than 0.01): from 187.2 +/- 66.6 (OCT) to 111.6 +/- 27.0 mg/dl (CSII), and hypoglycemic and ketotic events disappeared during CSII. A significant improvement (p less than 0.01 - p less than 0.001) in all other parameters was also observed. It is suggested that CSII may help to improve metabolic control and the quality of life in UIDD.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007332 Insulin Infusion Systems Portable or implantable devices for infusion of insulin. Includes open-loop systems which may be patient-operated or controlled by a pre-set program and are designed for constant delivery of small quantities of insulin, increased during food ingestion, and closed-loop systems which deliver quantities of insulin automatically based on an electronic glucose sensor.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
