May support CSII for autonomic neuropathy; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) improve cardiovascular autonomic reflexes in male insulin-dependent diabetic patients with severe autonomic neuropathy?
Improved metabolic control via Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion induces a slight but significant improvement in cardiovascular autonomic reflexes in diabetic patients with severe autonomic neuropathy.
Fedele et al. (1985) studied this question.
