Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of improved methods for treating erectile dysfunction associated with diabetes. Significantly, such dosing regimens can be combined with established methods for treating sexual dysfunction, including PDE5 inhibitors such as those sold under the trademark VIAGRA® to provide for significantly improved efficacy compared to the PDE5 inhibitor alone.
Abstract: Improved methods and kits for treating the long-term complication of diabetes that reduce the risk of the patient developing hypoglycemia during C-peptide therapy. The use of such methods and kits, can also maintain good glycemic control, and avoid excessive weight gain that may otherwise be associated with excessive insulin administration or caloric intake during C-peptide therapy.
