TL;DR: It is concluded that the portal route of delivery is superior to the peripheral in maintaining more appropriate insulin concentrations and control of hepatic glucose output, although in the absence of euglycaemia it is still associated with significant metabolic abnormalities.

TL;DR: The IGI appears to be a practical, simple and precise method for measuring in vivo insulin action in man and gives results closely similar to those found with the hyperinsulinemic eu(iso)glycaemic clamp.

TL;DR: It is concluded that ultralente insulin can give an improved fasting blood glucose concentration but that in those patients with more marked fasting hyperglycaemia or with a nocturnal hypoglycaemia problem it offers no clinical advantage over human lente insulin in a twice‐daily injection regimen.

TL;DR: This cross sectional study demonstrates, for the first time, that the Beta-cell loss in tropical-calcific-pancreatitis is related to the exocrine loss and suggests that diabetes in Tropical-cal Specific pancreatitis is either secondary to pancreatitis or that a common factor acts simultaneously on both components.

TL;DR: Control of glucose and ketone body metabolism is integrated by a variety of hormones, and the relative importance of individual hormones in lipid mobilization during starvation is uncertain, although glucagon, growth hormone, noradrenaline and, possibly, dopamine may all play a part.
