IMPROVING INSULIN THERAPY WITH CALCIUM GLUCONATE
Abstract
In ICT, the oral administration of calcium gluconate in doses ranging from 2 to 5 gm. either at the time of insulin injection or within one hour thereafter resulted in a 100% elimination of hypoglycemic convulsions or severe muscular twitching on the Insulin Unit at the New Jersey State Hospital. This therefore is felt to be an important contribution to ICT because it can be used in those patients who otherwise would have convulsions or severe twitching and who would not have received an adequate course of insulin.
