Pulsatile IV INsulin/not the pump
how does it work, is that the pump?
I have been on the pump for years. The pulsatile Iv Insulin therapy is an interventional treatment. Studies show that even if you are able to keep your A1c down, that does not prevent the complications of Diabetes.
PIVIT is a treatment given in a clinic or doctor's office. It is insulin given thru an IV. It is given in pulses over 3 to 4 hours, once a week. Some can get it once a month, depending on the severity of their compllications.
Until there is a cure, this treatment can help with the complications.
For example this treatment has halted and /or reversed retinopathy.
It has halted and reversed, to a point, my own renal failure.
It promotes wound healing, and more
A happy side effect is weight loss. There are not ill effects.
Insulin is secreted from the pancres to the portal vein of the liver, in pulses, as your body needs it. INjecting insulin, or pumping insulin
enters your body thru interstitual fluids, not into the blood stream.
Most of this insulin never makes it to where it needs to go.
YOu can google Pulsatile IV INsulin Therapy, also called MAT, CAT, CIIT
artificial pancreas treatment. I have found 12 different names for the same treatment.
Any other questions? I'll be happy to help. This treatment has made such a difference in my life, I feel a need to share the information.
Thanks for your queston.
