The parallelism between insulin action and clearance suggests a functional relationship. With the amelioration of the hyperthyroid state, both processes became normal. Meanwhile, this temporary solution provides a group setting that will help keep us connected. Hopefully we will be able to resume face-to-face meetings sooner than later. In the patient with newly diagnosed IDDM, the initial marked increases of insulin action and clearance were due to coexistent hyperthyroidism. For the health safety of our members many AA groups now offer remote stay-at-home meetings using Zoom or other video conferencing apps. Both remained within the normal range until 12 mo. min −1) returned to the normal range in 6 mo.min −1) and insulin clearance (steps 1–3, 11–14 ml.Parallel to the normalization of thyroid metabolism, insulin action (ED50 60 mU/L, SSGIR in step 4, 51 μmol

Insulin sensitivity was increased in the patients (ED 50 40 vs. The data were compared with nine control subjects and nine newly diagnosed euthyroid IDDM patients treated with insulin for 0.5 mo. The sequential euglycemic clamp technique (5 mM) was used with insulin infusion rates of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mil In a patient with hyperthyroidism and newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), insulin action and clearance were studied before the initiation of antithyroid treatment and at 3-mo intervals for 1 yr thereafter.
