In Type II, non-insulin-dependent diabetes, insulin secretion is often reduced to the point where oral hypoglycaemic agents fail to control the plasma glucose level. We studied 12 patients (age 41-66 years; 4 lean, 8 obese) with Type II diabetes mellitus for 1-25 years who were uncontrolled despite maximal dose glibenclamide and metformin. After withdrawal of medication, blood glucose control was determined by measuring glucose before and 2 h after each meal for 48 h, and beta-cell function by insulin or C-peptide response to glucagon and to iv glucose. Following these tests, intensive insulin treatment (CSII) was initiated, and near-euglycaemia (mean of 7 daily glucose determinations less than 7.7 mmol/l) was maintained for 16.6 +/- 1.5 days, at which time the tests were repeated. Mean daily insulin requirement was 61 +/- 9 IU (0.81 +/- 0.09 IU/kg). Glucose control was improved after cessation of CSII (mean glucose 12.7 +/- 0.6 mmol/l after vs 20 +/- 1.5 mmol/l before, P less than 0.005). Maximum incremental C-peptide response improved both to glucagon (214 +/- 32 after vs 134 +/- 48 pmol/l before, P = 0.05) and to glucose iv bolus injection (284 +/- 53 vs 113 +/- 32 pmol/l, P less than 0.05). Peak insulin response, measured after iv glucose infusion, also tended to be higher in the post-CSII test (42 +/- 18 vs 22 +/- 5.6 mU/l). Basal and stimulated proinsulin concentrations were high relative to C-peptide levels during the pre-treatment period, but returned to normal after CSII.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
