Brittle diabetes: long-term control with a portable,continuous, intravenous insulin infusion system.
J Bayliss 《BMJ (Clinical research ed.)》1981,283(6301):1207-1209
A young woman had severe brittle diabetes mellitus that was critically unmanageable with all conventional insulin treatment. Continuous subcutaneous and intramuscular infusions of insulin also failed to control her metabolic instability. Use of a continuous intravenous infusion, however, whereby a portable, variable-rate, battery-operated syringe pump delivered insulin through a subcutaneously tunnelled central venous catheter, resulted in good control. When she was receiving hourly intramuscular insulin injections (a mean of 778 IU daily) mean blood glucose concentrations had been 22.1 +/- 1.4 mmol/l (398 +/- 25 mg/100 microliters). After she had received the intravenous infusion for one month as an outpatient mean blood glucose concentration was 8.2 +/- 0.46 mmol/l (148 +/- 8 mg/100 microliters) and only 80 IU insulin daily was required. Follow-up after over five months of use showed that few complications had occurred. The system is simple to use and safe, and the diabetes had been stabilised such that she could enjoy a near-normal life style. 相似文献

Streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (STZ-DM) in rats is a model of type 1 diabetes, which is commonly used to study diabetes, but differs from human diabetic pathophysiology in its insulin resistance. An STZ-DM rat can be administered five times the dose of insulin compared to that of a diabetic patient. Thus, attaining normoglycaemia in STZ-DM rats with insulin injections is complicated, and it involves an obvious risk of overdosing before getting a response. This study was designed to investigate whether suboptimal treatment with long-acting insulin restores insulin sensitivity in the STZ-DM rat, and thus an approach to more closely mimic the human condition. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were made diabetic by means of a single intravenous injection of STZ (55 mg/kg body weight (BW)), resulting in an increase in blood glucose (BG) from 6.5 ± 0.2 to 22.5 ± 1.0 mmol/l (P 0.05) within 24 h. After treating the STZ-DM rats with vehicle for 14 days, BG was 26.1 ± 1.1 mmol/l, and the response to a single injection of fast-acting insulin (Humalog, 5 IE/kg BW) was a 23% reduction in BG. Thereafter, the rats were treated daily with a suboptimal dose of long-acting insulin for a total of 7 days (Insulatard, 5 IE/kg per day), which resulted in a BG level of 19.4 ± 2.7. The response to fast-acting insulin after the suboptimal treatment was a 61% reduction in BG. Thereafter, the animals were vehicle-treated for another 7 days, which resulted in a response to fast-acting insulin similar to the initial values (-34%). Furthermore, the group treated with suboptimal doses of long-acting insulin had a longer duration of the reduction in BG (150 min, as opposed to 90 min in the vehicle-treated groups). We conclude that the development of a decreased insulin response occurs rapidly within the first 2 weeks after the onset of diabetes in STZ-DM rats. This leads to a brief and significantly reduced decrease in BG when fast-acting insulin is administered. The insulin response is increased by treatment with suboptimal doses of long-acting insulin, but rapidly decreases again when treatment is withdrawn. Regular administration of suboptimal insulin doses may provide an approach to eliminate the effects of a lowered insulin response. 相似文献

It was shown that chronic (over 7 days) intranasal injection of the Pro-Gly-Arg tripeptide to rats in the dose 1 mg/kg before
the injection of a diabetogenic dose of alloxan, promotes effective defense against development of insulin dependent diabetes
mellitus. At the same time, the tetra-peptide Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg did not show a hypoglycemic affect during diabetes mellitus
provocation. Administration of Pro-Gly-Arg and Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg peptides also activates anticoagulation potential. 相似文献

An effect of replacing conventional forms of insulin by the monocomponent insulin manufactured by "Polfa" was studied in the group of 22 diabetics. The patients were followed up for 12 months. An effect of monocomponent insulin on daily requirement of insulin, levels of anti-insulin, monocomponent and pancreatic peptide antibodies, compensation of diabetes mellitus, and lipodystrophy were investigated. New insulin preparation decreased anti-insulin and pancreatic peptide antibodies level and markedly diminished lipodystrophy. However, daily insulin requirement, degree of diabetes mellitus compensation, and anti-proinsulin antibodies level remained unchanged. 相似文献

This extracorporeal insulin infuser has been designed to be compact, simple to operate, and suitable either for clinical investigations of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or for long term treatment of the condition. A syringe driver of unconventional design is used, and the syringe will be available prefilled with insulin, specially formulated at standard strength for long term infusion. The device is electronically controlled to give variable rates of basal infusion, preset by switch and supplemented by bolus infusions demanded by pushbotton prior to meals. Sufficient insulin is carried in the syringe to meet the needs of most diabetics for at least a week without refilling, and the battery life is commensurately long. Signalling of the mealtime dose regime, and of alarm and failure conditions is by audible means. Insulin will most commonly be delivered subcutaneously, though other routes are possible. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine if metformin monotherapy or metformin in combination with insulin is equally effective as insulin monotherapy at glycemic control in diabetes mellitus in pregnancy among Ghanaians.MethodsThis was a study involving 104 pregnant women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) at 20-30 weeks gestation. Participants were randomized into metformin and insulin treatment groups. Starting dose of metformin was 500 mg once a day and increased gradually over two (2) weeks, to meet glycemic targets. Insulin was added if targets could not be reached on metformin alone at maximum doses. Total daily dose of premixed insulin at initiation was calculated as 0.3 IU/kg body weight and titrated upwards to achieve glycemic control. Glycemic profile monitoring was done every two weeks.ResultsThe two hour post prandial blood glucose (2HPG) levels were significantly lower in the metformin group than the insulin group (p= 0.004).ConclusionThe findings of this study suggest that metformin monotherapy is effective in achieving glycemic targets in the management of diabetes in pregnancy. It is more effective than insulin in lowering the 2HPG level.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) often leads to disability from vascular complications and neurological complications. Tinospora crispa has been widely used in Asia and Africa as a remedy for diabetes and other diseases. In this study, we investigated the hypoglycemic actions of borapetoside C isolated from T. crispa, and the mechanisms underlying its actions. Acute treatment with borapetoside C (5mg/kg, i.p.) attenuated the elevated plasma glucose induced by oral glucose in normal and type 2 DM (T2DM) mice. Compared to the effect of injected insulin (0.5 IU/kg), borapetoside C caused a more prominent increase of glycogen content in skeletal muscle of T2DM mice, but a less increase in type 1 DM (T1DM) mice. Combined treatment of a low dose borapetoside C (0.1mg/kg, i.p.) plus insulin enhanced insulin-induced lowering of the plasma glucose level and insulin-induced increase of muscle glycogen content. Continuous treatment with 5mg/kg borapetoside C (twice daily) for 7 days increased phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR) and protein kinase B (Akt) as well as the expression of glucose transporter-2 (GLUT2) in T1DM mice. Combined treatment of a low dose borapetoside C (0.1mg/kg, twice daily) plus insulin for 7 days enhanced insulin-induced IR and Akt phosphorylation and GLUT2 expression in the liver of T1DM mice. This study proved that borapetoside C can increase glucose utilization, delayed the development of insulin resistance and enhanced insulin sensitivity. The activation of IR-Akt-GLUT2 expression and the enhancement of insulin sensitivity may contribute to the hypoglycemic action of borapetoside C in diabetic mice. 相似文献

Available evidences suggest that leptin has inhibitory role on insulin secretion. The aim of the work was to examine the association between plasma leptin concentrations and insulin resistance in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus. As a cross-sectional study we recruited 741 pregnant women. The universal screening was performed with an oral glucose challenge test-50 g. The recruits with plasma glucose levels of > or = 7.2 mmol/l were diagnosed as having gestational diabetes mellitus if they had an impaired oral glucose tolerance test-100 g based on Carpenter and Coustan criteria. In all pregnancies plasma insulin and leptin concentrations were measured. Gestational diabetes mellitus developed in 7% (52) of pregnancies. Elevated leptin concentrations were positively associated with insulin levels, BMI, and HOMA index while it was negatively associated with Quicky index. After adjusting for age and BMI before pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus had independent direct correlation with leptin concentration. Indeed, leptin level equal to or more than 20 ng/ml could help to predict the developing gestational diabetes mellitus. Measurement of leptin together with the assessment of other risk factors could help identifying women at risk of developing GDM. 相似文献

Emerging evidences demonstrate that excess aldosterone and insulin interact at target tissues. It has been shown that increased levels of aldosterone contribute to the development of insulin resistance and thus act as a risk factor for the development of type-2 diabetes mellitus. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this scenario are yet to be identified. This study was designed to assess the dose-dependent effects of aldosterone on insulin signal transduction and glucose oxidation in the skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius) of adult male rat. Healthy adult male albino rats of Wistar strain (Rattus norvegicus) weighing 180?C200?g were used in this study. Rats were divided into four groups. Group I: control (treated with 1?% ethanol only), group II: aldosterone treated (10???g /kg body weight, twice daily for 15?days), group III: aldosterone treated (20???g /kg body weight, twice daily for 15?days), and group IV: aldosterone treated (40???g/kg body weight, twice daily for 15?days). Excess aldosterone caused glucose intolerance in a dose-dependent manner. Serum insulin and aldosterone were significantly increased, whereas serum testosterone was decreased. Aldosterone treatment impaired the rate of glucose uptake, oxidation, and insulin signal transduction in the gastrocnemius muscle through defective expression of IR, IRS-1, Akt, AS160, and GLUT4 genes. Phosphorylation of IRS-1, ??-arrestin-2, and Akt was also reduced in a dose-dependent manner. Excess aldosterone results in glucose intolerance as a result of impaired insulin signal transduction leading to decreased glucose uptake and oxidation in skeletal muscle. In addition to this, it is inferred that excess aldosterone may act as one of the causative factors for the onset of insulin resistance and thus increased incidence of type-2 diabetes. 相似文献

Diabetes mellitus is associated with a variety of cardiovascular complications including impaired cardiac muscle function. The effects of insulin treatment on heart rate, body temperature and physical activity in the alloxan (ALX)-induced diabetic rat were investigated using in vivo biotelemetry techniques. The electrocardiogram, physical activity and body temperature were recorded in vivo with a biotelemetry system for 10 days before ALX treatment, for 20 days following administration of ALX (120 mg/kg) and thereafter, for 15 days whilst rats received daily insulin. Heart rate declined rapidly after administration of ALX. Pre-ALX heart rate was 321+/-9 beats per minute, falling to 285+/-12 beats per minute 15-20 days after ALX and recovering to 331+/-10 beats per minute 5-10 days after commencement of insulin. Heart rate variability declined and PQ, QRS and QT intervals were prolonged after administration of ALX. Physical activity and body temperature declined after administration of ALX. Pre-ALX body temperature was 37.6+/-0.1 °C, falling to 37.3+/-0.1 °C 15-20 days after ALX and recovering to 37.8+/-0.1 °C 5-10 days after commencement insulin. ALX-induced diabetes is associated with disturbances in heart rhythm, physical activity and body temperature that are variously affected during insulin treatment. 相似文献

Administration of alloxan (150 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) to male Wistar rats induced a reproducible and persistent diabetes mellitus as evidenced by elevated serum glucose and low serum insulin concentrations. Administration of either (-)epicatechin or (+)catechin (250 mg/kg, i.p. on each occasion) at 36, 24, 12 and 1 hour before and at 12 and 24 hours after alloxan administration did not prevent the induction of the diabetes. Similarly, treatment of animals with (-)epicatechin or (+)catechin (125 mg/kg i.p. twice daily) for 21 days commencing 24 hours after alloxan administration did not reverse the peristing elevated serum glucose and low serum insulin concentrations. Moreover, administration of these compounds did not relieve any of the symptoms of the alloxan-induced diabetes such as poor weight gain, polyuria or polydipsia. 相似文献

Male domestic cats that are neutered and overweight are at an increased risk for developing a type-2-like diabetes mellitus. Beneficial effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) on glucose homeostasis may be lost with neutering and thereby account for increased diabetes risk. To evaluate this, adult male neutered overweight cats (n=6) were given daily E2 (1.0 μg/kg) or vehicle (Vh; ethanol, 1.0μL/kg) in a single crossover trial of 14-day periods with a 7-day washout. The E2 and Vh were voluntarily ingested on food. The E2 dosage was determined in a pre-trial to significantly and transiently reduce food intake with no measurable change in plasma E2 concentration. During treatments, physical activity was assessed with collar-mounted accelerometers on days 9-11, and tests of intravenous insulin tolerance and intravenous glucose tolerance were conducted on days 13 and 14, respectively. Over the 14 days, E2 compared to Vh treatment reduced (p=0.03) food intake (- 22%) but not enough to significantly reduce body weight; activity counts were not significantly changed. With E2 compared to Vh treatment, the late-phase plasma insulin response of the glucose tolerance test was less (p=0.03) by 31%, while glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity indexes were not significantly changed. The results indicate that oral E2 at a dosage that moderately affects food intake may reduce insulin requirement for achieving glucose homeostasis in neutered male cats. Further investigation is needed to identify the mechanism underlying the E2 effect. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare perinatal outcome and glycaemic control in two groups of pregnant diabetic patients receiving two insulin regimens.DesignRandomised controlled open label study.SettingUniversity affiliated hospital, Israel.Participants138 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and 58 patients with pregestational diabetes mellitus received insulin four times daily, and 136 patients with gestational diabetes and 60 patients with pregestational diabetes received insulin twice daily.InterventionThree doses of regular insulin before meals and an intermediate insulin dose before bedtime (four times daily regimen), and a combination of regular and intermediate insulin in the morning and evening (twice daily regimen).ResultsMean daily insulin concentration before birth was higher in the women receiving insulin four times daily compared with twice daily: by 22 units (95% confidence interval 12 to 32) in patients with gestational diabetes and by 28 units (15 to 41) in patients with pregestational diabetes. Glycaemic control was better with the four times daily regimen than with the twice daily regimen: in patients with gestational diabetes mean blood glucose concentrations decreased by 0.19 mmol/l (0.13 to 0.25), HbA1c by 0.3% (0.2% to 0.4%), and fructosamine by 41 μmol/l (37 to 45), and adequate glycaemic control (mean blood glucose concentration <5.8 mmol/l) was achieved in 17% (8% to 26%) more women; in patients with pregestational diabetes mean blood glucose concentration decreased by 0.44 mmol/l (0.28 to 0.60), HbA1c by 0.5% (0.2% to 0.8%), and fructosamine by 51 μmol/l (45 to 57), and adequate glycaemic control was achieved in 31% (15% to 47%) more women. Maternal severe hypoglycaemic events, caesarean section, preterm birth, macrosomia, and low Apgar scores were similar in both dose groups. In women with gestational diabetes the four times daily regimen resulted in a lower rate of overall neonatal morbidity than the twice daily regimen (relative risk 0.59, 0.38 to 0.92), and the relative risk for hyperbilirubinaemia and hypoglycaemia was lower (0.51, 0.29 to 0.91 and 0.12, 0.02 to 0.97 respectively). The relative risk of hypoglycaemia in newborn infants to mothers with pregestational diabetes was 0.17 (0.04 to 0.74).ConclusionsGiving insulin four times rather than twice daily in pregnancy improved glycaemic control and perinatal outcome without further risking the mother.
Key messages
- Improving maternal glycaemic control during pregnancy is the key to better perinatal outcome
- In pregnant diabetic women insulin four times daily achieved better glycaemic control and lower rate of perinatal complications (hypoglycaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia) than insulin twice daily
- Better glycaemic control resulted from a larger total daily insulin dose
- The intensified regimen did not lead to higher rate of severe maternal hypoglycaemia

The objectives of the study were to test the use of a prefilled insulin syringe (Insulatard® Novolet®, isophane insulin, 100 IU/mL) in treating diabetic dogs and to test the clinical usefulness of serum fructosamine measurements in diagnosing and monitoring diabetes mellitus in dogs. For this study 15 dogs from throughout Norway with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus were included and treated over a period of 180 days. All 15 dogs showed pretreatment hyperglycaemia. Of the 13 dogs tested, all showed elevated pretreatment serum fructosamine values. Within 2 weeks, 3 of the 15 included dogs had dropped out of the study In 8 of the 12 remaining dogs, the clinical signs ceased within this period. Within a month, another dog was euthanised and one had died. Seven of the 10 remaining dogs were clinically normal. Three dogs had normal serum fructosamine concentrations, while in 6 dogs moderately or highly elevated serum fructosamine concentrations persisted. In one case serum fructosamine was not measured at this time. Increase in serum fructosamine concentration seemed to reflect hyperglycaemia and deteriorated clinical condition. Decrease in serum fructosamine concentration seemed to reflect improved glycaemic status and clinical condition. During the study period the owners did a total of approximately 3500 injections on their dogs. No reports of injection difficulties were received. This study documents that Insulatard® Novolet® is easy and safe to use in treating diabetic dogs and that serum fructosamine reflects long-term glucose concentrations in dogs. Serum fructosamine measurements provided a simple and easy way to diagnose persistent hyperglycaemia and monitor the treatment in diabetic patients. 相似文献

This pilot study deals with the possibilities of a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS, Minimed- Medtronic) to optimize insulin substitution. Ten persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus treated by means of an insulin pump entered the study and eight of them completed the protocol. CGMS was introduced for a period of 5 days. The standard dinner (60 g of carbohydrates) and overnight fasting were designed to ensure standard night conditions in all persons in the study while maintaining their usual daily eating routine, physical exercise and assessment of prandial insulin boluses. The only adaptation of basal rates of insulin pump was performed on day 3. Comparison of the mean plasma glucose concentration (0:00-24:00 hrs) between day 2 (before adaptation) and day 4 (following adaptation) was made. An independent comparison of the mean plasma glucose concentration between the night from day 2 till day 3 (22:00-6:00 hrs) and the night from day 4 till day 5 (22:00-6:00 hrs) was performed. The mean plasma glucose investigated by means of CGMS improved in the 24-hour period in 5 out of 8 persons and in the night fasting period (22:00 to 6 hrs) in 6 out of 8 persons. The CGMS is a useful means for assessment of the effectiveness of basal rate and prandial insulin doses in persons with type 1 diabetes treated by means of an insulin pump. However, further studies are necessary to improve the algorithm for insulin substitution. 相似文献

Effects of a combination of rhGH and metformin on adiponectin levels in patients with metabolic syndrome. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Adiponectin is a recently discovered adipocytokine that correlates negatively with body mass index and body fat. In patients with GH deficiency, treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) reduces body fat mass and thus may also have a favorable effect in patients with metabolic syndrome, and would also be expected to increase adiponectin levels. However, due to its diabetogenic effect, rhGH treatment also bears an increased risk for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted a 18-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the effect of rhGH in combination with metformin (MGH) in 14 obese men (7 MGH; 7 Metformin+Placebo, 54 +/- 2 years, BMI 33.0 +/- 1.2 kg/m(2)) with mildly elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at screening (6.1-8.0 mmol/l). All patients received metformin (850 mg twice daily) for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus/impaired glucose tolerance, either alone or in combination with rhGH (daily dose 9.5 mug/kg body weight). Glucose disposal rate (GDR) was measured using the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique, and body composition was measured by DEXA at 0 and 18 months. After 18 months, the mean adiponectin concentration increased by 32 +/- 11 % (p = 0.018) in the MGH group and did not change in the MP group (- 10 +/- 13 %; p = n. s.). The difference in relative changes in adiponectin levels between the two groups after 18 months was statistically significant (p = 0.026). Improvement in insulin sensitivity (GDR) correlated positively with adiponectin levels (r = 0.73; p = 0.004). In conclusion, the additional administration of rhGH increased adiponectin levels in patients with metabolic syndrome, indicating its potential role in adiponectin-associated insulin sensitivity alterations. 相似文献

Diabetes mellitus and estrogen deficit are known causes of osteopenia in animal models as well as in humans. In the present work, the combined effect of ovariectomy and diabetes was investigated. Diabetes was induced in ovary-intact and ovariectomized female Wistar rats with a single injection (50 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) of streptozotocin. The rats were administered insulin (I) daily or 17-beta estradiol (E2) on alternate days for a period of 35 days and sacrificed. Serum calcium (Ca2+), phosphorus (P), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), vertebral ALP, collagen, and glycosaminoglycans were estimated. The levels of serum Ca2+ and P increased in diabetic rats, but decreased after I or E2 treatments. Serum ALP and TRAP activity increased in the ovary-intact and ovariectomized diabetic rats. Vertebral ALP activity increased in ovariectomized diabetic rats, but decreased in diabetic rats, which were treated with I or E2. In the vertebrae, TRAP activity was elevated as a result of diabetes, but this was prevented by insulin or estradiol. Diabetes induced a decrease in total collagen in the vertebrae, while I or E2 treatment induced an increase. The levels of chondroitin sulphate and heparan sulphate decreased significantly in the vertebrae of both ovary-intact and ovariectomized diabetic rats, while hyaluronic acid increased. In conclusion, diabetes and ovariectomy each seem to affect the process of matrix formation and mineralization in the bone, and this is aggravated by the combination of diabetes and ovariectomy. The effects of I and E2 were similar, and both hormones reversed the changes brought about by diabetes. 相似文献

The association between early exposure to cow's milk products in infancy and risk for insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is controversial. We examined whether the ingestion of cow's milk-based infant formula altered the expression of the diabetic syndrome in the BB/Wor rat, an animal model of IDDM. Pregnant BB/Wor dams were obtained from the NIH contract colony at the University of Massachusetts and housed under semi-barrier conditions. Rat pups were intubated with 1 to 2 ml of commercially available cow's milk-based infant formula (Enfamil or Nutramigen) or sham intubated (controls) daily from day 12 to day 25 of life. Pups were weaned at day 25 and monitored for glucosuria daily through 120 days of life. All rats including dams consumed a milk-free rat chow and acidified water ad libitum throughout the study. The mean age of disease onset was 4 to 10 days earlier in Nutramigen-fed and Enfamil-fed rats relative to controls (84+/-3, 78+/-2 and 88+/-4 days, respectively); the mean age of disease onset was significantly different between controls and Enfamil-fed animals (p<0.05). At 120 days, 60% (12/20) of control rats developed diabetes versus 100% of animals fed either type of infant formula prior to weaning (15/15:Enfamil-fed; 19/19:Nutramigen-fed) (p<0.05). These data indicate that direct, early ingestion of cow's milk-based formula was related to the expression of diabetes in the BB/Wor rat. 相似文献

Pancreatectomized swine as a model of diabetes mellitus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The development of a model of diabetes mellitus using swine offers the potential for new investigations in the study of human diabetic complications. In particular, animal models for the study of accelerated atherosclerosis associated with diabetes are important and presently lacking. Swine were selected because they have a natural susceptibility to atherosclerosis and have plasma lipoprotein patterns which are close to those of humans. Diabetes mellitus was induced in nine miniature swine by total pancreatectomy. Following surgery, they were maintained on porcine derived insulin at doses predicated on blood glucose levels. Pancreatic enzymes were replaced by dietary supplementation. Eight of the nine pigs were pancreatectomized successfully and stabilized with insulin. After initial weight loss, the pancreatectomized pigs maintained growth rates comparable to controls. Hypoglycemia and bacterial infections were the major problems experienced. Post-operative survival ranged from 50 days to 455 days. Our study shows that swine can be pancreatectomized successfully and maintained as insulin dependent animals, presenting a realistic model for research on the complications of diabetes. 相似文献
