Insulin allergy and resistance successfully treated by desensitisation with Aspart insulin

چکیده
A 25-year-old, with type I Diabetes Mellitus with a previous diagnosis of Protamine Allergy but not to human Insulin, started to notice anaphylactic reactions immediately after bolus with Insulin. Skin prick and intradermal test were positive to all insulins. Skin tests to other potential allergens resulted negative. Examination after bolus of Human Insulin revealed urticaria. Daily insulin requirement were around 2-2,4 U/Kg/day. Slow desensitisation with Aspart insulin, the insulin with lowest size of skin test, was performed using subcutaneous insulin pump. Six months after the end of desensitisation his daily insulin requirement decreased to 0.8 U/Kg/day and oral corticosteroids are being reduced with no symptoms.

Systemic allergy to human insulin and its rapid and long acting analogs: successful treatment by continuous subcutaneous insulin lispro infusion.
Since the introduction of highly purified human recombinant insulin, allergy to insulin has become a very rare clinical situation, encountered in less than 1% of patients. It results in potentially life-threatening immediate or delayed, local and general manifestations. Different treatments of unequal efficiency have been proposed, the use of insulin analogs showing benefits in certain situatio...

A diabetic man with no previous history of allergy began to suffer itchy, painful swelling at the sites of injection after three months' treatment with bovine insulin. Insulin specific IgE concentrations (1.2-2.0 U/ml) were higher than in non-allergic diabetics (mean 0.4 (SD 0.06) U/ml) but lower than in most other patients allergic to insulin (1.0-19.0 U/ml). Standard approaches failed to over...

متن کاملDiabetic Ketosis Caused by the Insulin Analog Aspart–Induced Anti-Insulin Antibody: Successful Treatment With the Newest Insulin Analog Glulisine
Anti-insulin antibodies induce immunological insulin resistance and poor diabetic control in insulintreated diabetic patients. Recently, the prevalence and levels of anti-insulin antibodies have remarkably decreased as a consequence of the purity of insulin preparations and human insulin (1). The insulin analog insulin aspart exists as hexamers that rapidly dissociate into monomers and dimmers ...
متن کاملAntihyperglycemic effect of Rosa damascena is mediated by PPAR.γ gene expression in animal model of insulin resistance
Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin signaling and action are impaired in insulin sensitive tissues and results in hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our previous studies have shown that rosa damascena has antihyperglycemic effects on diabetic and normal rats. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate the effect of this medicinal plant on insulin sensiti...
