pubmed:abstractText
Twenty patients were changed from a single daily injection of beef insulin (a mixture of soluble and protamine zinc insulin) to two daily injections (mixtures of soluble and isophane insulins). This was associated with a reduction, one month later, in the concentration of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1) and in the degree of late evening glycosuria. A reduction was shown 6 months later in antibody binding of beef and pork insulin by serum. Subsequent conversion to a twice daily regime of highly purified pork insulin was not associated with further improvement in diabetic control, but was associated after 1 month with a reduction in daily insulin dose, and after 5 months with a further reduction in antibody binding of beef and pork insulin by serum. Patients failing to show a C-peptide response to intravenous glucagon had a fall in HbA1 after conversion from a once to a twice daily insulin regime, which correlated inversely with insulin antibody binding estimated at the beginning of the study.
