Randomized Comparison of Metabolic Control Achieved by Intraperitoneal Insulin Infusion With Implantable Pumps Versus Intensive Subcutaneous Insulin Therapy in Type I Diabetic Patients

Abstract

IP-implantable pumps compared with SC intensive insulin therapy have similar effects on most metabolic variables and are equally effective at achieving near-normal glycemic levels. Only longitudinal data suggest that IP treatment may be more effective at limiting glycemic fluctuations.
