To determine whether the complete correction of hyperglycemia of diabetes can rapidly improve abnormal peripheral nerve function, 8 hyperglycemic insulin-requiring diabetics underwent 3 days of glucose control with an artificial endocrine pancreas, the Biostator Glucose Controller. Comparison of neurologic assessment before and after Biostator treatment showed improvement only in ulnar sensory conduction velocity (+3.2 .+-. 1.4 m/s) and no significant changes in 24 other nerve conduction measurements, computer-assisted sensory examination and scored neurologic assessment. Any significant beneficial effect on nerve function resulting from correction of hyperglycemia probably requires more than 3 days to be manifested.
