HbA1c and C peptide in treatment were significantly better than either pre-therapy values or control. In Treatment: 18/56 patients insulin was discontinued; 19/56 insulin reduction > 50%, 10/56 insulin reduction 15-50%, 9/56 –non responder In control: 40/62 patients – insulin requirement increased > 50%, 22/62 patients – increased 15-45%. |
