Management of very high insulin requirements in rare extreme insulin resistance syndromes is difficult and poorly documented. We report a case of a type B insulin-resistant patient requiring approximately 10,000 units of insulin per day, i.e. beyond the possibilities of current insulin formulations and delivery devices. Only the Panomat C10 portable pump model (Disetronic) and U500 Humulin (Lilly) allowed the required rate of 400 units per hour to be attained only when the reservoir was changed twice daily and the site and catheter were changed once daily. Three months after discharge, the patient was in good general and local condition, but with only fair diabetes control (glycated haemoglobin 9.5%).
