to elucidate the mechanism by which somatostatin lowers blood glucose concentration and insulin requirement following carbohydrate ingestion in insulin dependent diabetic patients ( iddm ; n = 6 ) , the amount of insulin required for the assimilation of a 50 g glucose load was determined by means of an automated glucose-controlled insulin infusion system with and without concomitant somatostatin infusion .
