Insulin-induced lipohypertrophy: report of a case with histopathology.
An 82-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes had been treated with recombinant human insulin for 16 years. She developed large swellings in both sides of her lower abdomen. The masses were soft, painless, and located around her insulin injection sites. Based on the history and clinical features, a diagnosis of insulin-induced lipohypertrophy was made. Total resection revealed that the lesions were...
متن کاملImproved glycaemic control by switching from insulin NPH to insulin glargine: a retrospective observational study
BACKGROUND Insulin glargine (glargine) and insulin NPH (NPH) are two basal insulin treatments. This study investigated the effect on glycaemic control of switching from a NPH-based regimen to a glargine-based regimen in 701 patients with type 1 (n= 304) or type 2 (n= 397) diabetes, using unselected primary care data. METHODS Data for this retrospective observational study were extracted from ...
متن کاملThiazolidinedione-induced Effects beyond Glycaemic Control
The thiazolidinediones exert their insulin sensitising effect by binding to the nuclear receptors (transcription factors) peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) γ and, to varying degrees, to PPARα. Several different genes are activated by thiazolidinediones, many of which contribute to the increase in insulin sensitivity (eg. an increase in glucose uptake and utilisation, a decrease ...
متن کاملNodules of fibrocollagenous scar tissue induced by subcutaneous insulin injections: a cause of poor diabetic control.
A 46 year old man with longstanding type 1 diabetes developed major weight loss and marked deterioration in diabetic control. He had been persistently injecting insulin into areas of abdominal lipohypertrophy within which hard collagenised fibrous tissue nodules had developed. Injecting insulin at different sites dramatically improved blood glucose control. Fibrocollagenous nodules induced by i...
متن کاملCirculating lipids and glycaemic control in insulin dependent diabetic children.
The prevalence of dyslipidaemia in children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and its relation to glycaemic control was studied in a group of 51 diabetic children and a control population of 132 schoolchildren. The prevalence of dyslipidaemia in the fasting state was increased in the diabetic group (39%) compared with control subjects (17%). Serum cholesterol concentration alone w...
