Comparison of quality of life in diabetics using insulin injection therapy versus subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy
… this study was to determine the effectiveness of insulin delivered via multiple injections or by infusion via a pump on the quality of life in adult insulin-dependent diabetics. Four parameters, namely hemoglobin A1C (3 month average blood sugar levels), self-reported healthy eating habits …

A fail-safe, three way, variable flow control valve for a commercially available, implantable insulin infusion pump
Thesis (B.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 1985.

Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion in Comparison to Subcutaneous Insulin Injections in the Preschooler with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
… that results from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas subsequently causing a lack of insulin and leading to increased blood and urine glucose (Cihakova, 2001). Type 1 diabetes has increased at an alarming rate in very young children (Weinzimer et al., 2004). …

The Eating Behaviours, Quality of Life and Cardiometabolic Risks of Adults with Type 1 Diabetes using Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Therapy
Evidence suggests continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is an effective method of achieving glycaemic control in those with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Among the advantages of CSII is the opportunity for patients to potentially discard the dietary inflexibility imposed by other regimes such as …

The effect of muscle glycogen status on control of substrate metabolism during exercise
… deficiency" is overcome. In addition, because insulin stimulates muscle glucose uptake and not liver glucose uptake during euglycaemia (except at very high concentrations), insulin infusion would differentiate between liver and muscle glycogen depletion, since if the decrease in RER previously …

Regulation of Nutrient Metabolism in Equine Skeletal Muscle and Adipose Tissue
… metabolism is evidenced by the development of insulin resistance and increased fasting plasma insulin concentrations (hyperinsulinemia) while altered lipid metabolism is evidenced by increased plasma lipid concentrations. Obesity in horses also increases the risk of the painful hoof disease, …

Effect of vasodilation on the response of muscle protein synthesis to insulin in aging
… of muscle proteins to the anabolic action of insulin, even in subjects who do not have diabetes. This alteration impairs the response of older muscle to the anabolic action of a mixed meal, and may contribute to muscle loss with aging. \r\nThe hypothesis is that aging reduces the vascular …

Glucose and insulin dynamics associated with continuous infusion of dextrose or dextrose and insulin in healthy and endotoxin-exposed horses
… characterize the effects of a continuous rate infusion of dextrose or dextrose and insulin on glucose and insulin dynamics in both healthy and endotoxin-exposed horses. Administration of a low dose of endotoxin has been used in horses to mimic the clinicopathologic changes seen in endotoxemia, …

Toll-like receptor mediated responses to adsorbed damage-associated molecular patterns on biomaterial surfaces
… to a range of non-resorbable polymers, including insulin infusion cannulas. The in vitro data showed that adsorbed DAMPs on polymeric surfaces, both alone and in the presence of blood proteins, strongly induced NF-B/AP-1 transcription factor activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in …

The effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on inflammatory markers and metabolic control in healthy individuals and type 1 diabetics using either insulin pump or multiple dose injection
… 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterised by an absolute insulin deficiency resulting from the chronic and progressive destruction of pancreatic β-cells by the immune system cells. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is becoming a popular technique for insulin delivery among T1D patients. …

Closed-loop insulin delivery in adults with type 1 diabetes
… 1 diabetes with currently available methods of insulin delivery is challenging. Aggressive regimens carry an increased risk of hypoglycaemia, particularly overnight. Both alcohol consumption and exercise predispose further to low glucose levels. The demands are even greater in pregnancy where, …

The effect of protein and fat meal content on the insulin requirement of type 1 diabetic children
… a major challenge. Determining meal bolus insulin is mainly dependent on carbohydrate counting and the carbohydrate content of a meal. Recent studies have shown this method to be ineffective at times. Also, it has been proven that the fat and protein contents of meals demand insulin as …

Propuesta de un algoritmo de control en lazo cerrado para la diabetes tipo 1
… por la insuficiente o nula producción de insulina o la reducida sensibilidad a esta hormona. Es una enfermedad crónica con una mayor prevalencia en los países desarrollados debido principalmente a la obesidad y la vida sedentaria. La diabetes Tipo 1 es una enfermedad autoinmune en la que …
