Subcutaneous insulin pulse therapy.

Attempts to achieve glycemic control preoperatively in subjects with NonInsulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) may be an ordeal at times. Not uncommonly NIDDM subjects hitherto well controlled with diet and oral hypoglycemic agents on being switched over to insulin prior to major surgery, escape control and require hospitalisation and energetic steps to restore euglycemia. In the present study, the efficacy of Subcutaneous Insulin Pulse Therapy (SIPT), a mode of insulin administration in achieving glycemic control in subjects with NIDDM is analysed.
