InDuo, a novel combined insulin injection and blood glucose monitoring device - effective and save as other devices, and patient preference.

Background And Aim: Frequent blood glucose (BG) monitoring and insulin administration are necessary in intensive insulin regimes. A new integrated system, InDuo is a compact and portable combined insulin doser and BG monitor, designed to overcome some of the limitations of current insulin therapy. The aim of the study was to compare InDuo and a non-integrated system (HumaPen Ergo and Accu-Chek Sensor Meter) for efficacy and safety, and to evaluate patients preference.

The effects of skin temperature and testing site on blood glucose measurements taken by a modern blood glucose monitoring device.

Background: Modern blood glucose (BG) monitoring devices (e.g., InDuo [LifeScan, Inc.

Intracellular formation of two soluble glycoproteins in BHK cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus serotype New Jersey.

Infection of BHK 21 cells with VSV serotype New Jersey gave rise to three intracellular viral glycoproteins: the membrane-integrated G protein and the two soluble glycoproteins Gs and Gss which lacked the cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains as was deduced from limited chemical cleavage of the glycoproteins by hydroxylamine. Both soluble glycoproteins were completely protected by the microsomal membrane against proteolytic digestion. The soluble glycoproteins were formed in the endoplasmic reticulum because both were fully endo H sensitive after a 5-min pulse with [35S]methionine.
