Abstract
21 diabetic children requiring greater than 50 units of standard insulin daily were changed to a monocomponent insulin. During the 3 months before the change the insulin dose had risen significantly from a mean of 70 to a mean of 77 units daily. During the 3 months after the change the dose fell significantly to a mean of 53 units daily. This decrease in insulin requirement was associated with a general improvement in diabetic control. This was assessed clinically and measured in 10 children by an analysis of home urine tests and in 8 children by an analysis of 24-hour urine glucose excretion.Entities:
