Argument for minimizing
Insulin Use
8/15/2016
In normal physiology, liver sees 3 x more insulin (from portal system) than periphery to decrease hepatic glucose
productionThus to achieve even a modicum of decreased hepatic glucose production, exogenous insulin administration results in
hyperinsulinism
Thus strong argument for not using insulin early, but only after failiny 3-4 non-insulin treatments
