Residual insulin secretion in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
Abstract
The residual insulin secretory capacity of 244 children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus was determined by measurement of their 24 hour urinary C peptide excretion. An inverse linear relation was found between the residual B cell secretion and the duration of diabetes. The age at onset of diabetes did not affect the residual B cell function significantly.
