Patient Histories

Patient Stories

Over 100 people have been successfully treated with chronic intermittent intravenous insulin therapy (CIIIT) in Sacramento, California over the past 17 years. As part of a chronic treatment plan for diabetes many patients have come one-day-a-week for 3 to 5 years or more, and several patients have been treated for 15 years. Clinical improvements are seen over the first several months of CIIIT but further improvement occurs throughout the next several years. Continued therapy is required to maintain these improvements.

A 65 year old woman with Type I diabetes for 50 years was afraid to go to sleep because of severe hypoglycemic attacks and terrible nightmares despite taking 4 shots of insulin per day and careful attention to diet. Her problems with hypoglycemia (and in turn the terrible nightmares) disappeared while on the chronic intermittent intravenous insulin therapy program in addition to her usual 4 insulin shots per day.
A woman with severe Type I diabetes and chronic diabetic kidney disease and anemia complained of feeling very tired all the time. On chronic intermittent intravenous insulin therapy she suddenly found enough energy to take up dancing despite remaining anemic.
A 47-year-old diabetic woman with severe dilated cardiomyopathy was awaiting heart transplant. After the addition of chronic intermittent intravenous insulin therapy to her diabetes treatment plan her cardiac function improved 30 percent, and she no longer needed a transplant. She took up walking 3 to 4 miles a day and eight years later she continues to do well.
