  • Publication number: 20060122099
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for delivering insulin to a subject to improve impaired total body tissue glucose processing. The method delivers one or more pulses of insulin to the subject over a period of time accompanied by ingestion of glucose in the form of a carbohydrate containing meal. The number of pulses, the amount of insulin in each pulse, the interval between pulses and the amount of time to deliver each pulse to the subject are selected so that total body tissue processing of glucose is restored in the subject. In subjects whose total body tissue glucose processing has been restored there is a subsequent fall in circulating blood glucose levels of 50 mg/dl or more directly as a result of improved total body tissue glucose processing.

The system delivers one or more pulses of insulin to the subject over a period of time accompanied by ingestion of glucose in the form of a carbohydrate containing meal. The number of pulses, the amount of insulin in each pulse, the interval between pulses and the amount of time to deliver each pulse to the subject are selected so that total body tissue processing of glucose is restored in the subject. In subjects whose total body tissue glucose processing has been restored, there is a subsequent fall in circulating blood glucose levels of 50 mg/dl or more primarily and directly as a result of improved total body tissue glucose processing.

  • Publication number: 20050137572
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for delivering insulin to a subject to improve impaired hepatic glucose processing. The method delivers a series of pulses of insulin to the subject over a period of time accompanied by ingestion of glucose in the form of a carbohydrate containing meal. The amount of insulin in each pulse, the interval between pulses and the amount of time to deliver each pulse to the subject are selected so that the hepatic processing of glucose is restored in the subject. In subjects whose hepatic glucose processing has been restored there is a subsequent fall in circulating blood glucose levels of 50 mg/dl or more directly as a result of improved hepatic glucose processing.

  • Publication number: 20050123579
    Abstract: The present invention is a system capable of improving the dietary fuel capabilities of diabetics and metabolically impaired patients and correct an overutilization of free fatty acids associated with heart and cardiovascular disease in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The current invention is the treating of heart disease and cardiovascular disease using insulin pulses to a patient utilizing Chronic Intermittent Intravenous Insulin Therapy to achieve an increase dietary fuel capabilities and correct overutilization of free fatty acids associated with heart and cardiovascular disease in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
