Article Synopsis
- Eighteen mild hypertensive patients and 15 normotensive controls were assessed for insulin sensitivity using insulin tolerance tests and fasting plasma insulin level measurements.
- Insulin sensitivity strongly correlated with body mass index (BMI) in both groups, indicating that higher BMI is linked to lower insulin sensitivity.
- Nonobese hypertensive patients showed similar insulin sensitivity to nonobese normotensive controls, but obese normotensive subjects had higher fasting plasma insulin levels than their hypertensive counterparts.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of different levels of glycemic control on the pulmonary function of subjects with type I insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
Patients And Methods: Eighteen subjects with type I insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with no history or physical findings of respiratory disease. Patients were given insulin therapy with a standard twice-daily insulin injection regimen (standard treatment group) or a subcutaneous insulin infusion device (insulin pump) (intensive treatment group).
