Our investigation studies the role of acute insulin administration on the diabetic heart, its corresponding effective blood-insulin level and the time-course applicability of insulin in a routine clinical setting.
A case series of six male (48.1 ± 4.9 y/o) patients with controlled diabetes (HbA1c of 6.6 ± 0.3%, disease duration of 14.4 ± 6.7 yr). Each subject was evaluated for glucose homeostatic, hemodynamic and echocardiographic systolic and diastolic parameters at baseline and following two successive insulin-load steps of a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp study, each 2 h in duration. Results are presented as a mean ± SEM and analysed using the student's t-test.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Diabetic patients
Diabetic patients were treated with insulin loads, left ventricle functional parameters were compared to those of healthy persons. Metabolic indices of insulin effect: blood insulin levels, glucose disposal rates under insulin infusion, were compared to respective group of healthy persons, studied earlier at our institution Insulin LISPRO intravenous loading |
Drug: Insulin LISPRO intravenous loading
intravenous infusion of insulin Lispro.
Other Name: Humalog Insulin |
