Is a rapid increase in beta-cell function by multiple insulin injections in type 2 diabetic patients further enhanced by prolonging treatment?
Improvement of insulin secretion by intensive insulin treatment is rapidly gained with no further effect obtained after a longer treatment period. This finding, as well as undesirable effects of MI on body weight, argues against prolonged MI treatment as a prelude to other therapeutic regimens in type 2 diabetic patients.
IPMD, which affects leaflet tethering independently of PM tethering distance, was the major determinant of mitral tenting volume and FMR severity in patients with LVD.
