To improve plasma glucose control, insulin was administered s.c. in 7 ambulatory patients with juvenile diabetes (12-17 yr of age), using a portable infusion pump at a basal rate with pulse-dose increments before meals. After 2-4 days, the mean plasma glucose (.+-. 1 S.E.) of 94 .+-. 5 mg/dl was markedly lower than when insulin was given by conventional methods in the patients'' usual dose (243 .+-. 28 P < 0.01) or in a total dose equivalent to that administered with the pump (150 .+-. 15, P < 0.01). Maximal fluctuations in plasma glucose were also 50-150 mg/dl below those observed with conventional treatment (P < 0.001). Glycosuria was eliminated in 6 of 7 patients during pump treatment. None of the subjects had hypoglycemia. Plasma glucose can be lowered to normal in ambulatory patients with brittle juvenile diabetes using a portable, s.c. insulin infusion system for 2-4 days. The feasibility and value of the long-term application of this technique need exploration.
