Abstract

Six insulin-requiring diabetic subjects (five with resistant diabetes and one with bridle diabetes} were treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion on a short-term basis. The blood sugar control was smoother and the insulin requirement was much lower than with conventional insulin therapy. The pump helped to break the insulin resistance in some cases. It is also helpful in the manaSemenl of brittle diabetes. It is an excellent toot in the management of problem patients with diabetes especially in the hospital setting.
