Gastrointestinal neuropathy and different insulins
Diabetologia Praktyczna 2010;11(1):35-37.
Abstract
Gastrointestinal autonomic neuropathy is one of the
serious complications of diabetes influencing the
degree of compensation of disease. Delay of stomach
emptying disregulates relations between absorption
of energy fuels and time of insulin action. Some delay
of the peak of insulin action characteristic for
human insulin in comparison with short acting insulin
analogs may be beneficial in restoring proper relation
in timing of meal absorption and hypoglycahypoglycaemic
effect of injected insulin.
