- To treat with insulin.
- 1982, Willard Owen Thompson, The Year Book of Endocrinology, page 234:
- The decrease in insulin binding with improved metabolic control may be a result of the peripheral hyperinsulinemia required to insulinize the liver effectively when insulin is administered by a peripheral route.
- 1986, Robert L. Jackson, The Physiological Management of Diabetes in Children, page 312:
- by the principles of good preventive pediatrics make an early diagnosis of IDDM before complete beta-cell destruction has occurred; at the first evidence of sustained hyperglycemia, hospitalize the child, and initiate insulin therapy and adequately insulinize the child using the principles and dosages found in Chapters 5 and 6.
- 2022, Dr. Roshi, Fundamentals of Drug Delivery Systems, page 127:
- There is strong evidence suggesting that an oral insulin product would provide insulin in a more physiological manner, with a resultant decrease in peripheral insulin concentration and that it would more adequately insulinize the liver.
- 2022, Boris Draznin, Diabetes in Practice: Case Studies with Commentary:
- One also has to be extremely careful not to over-insulinize a patient with too much basal insulin, which can lead to significant glycemic variability and hypoglycemia.
