Insulin NovoRapid Versus Actrapid in Treatment of Type 1 Diabetic Patients During Daily Adjustment of Insulin Dose

October 10, 2006 updated by: Odense University Hospital

Is Insulin NovoRapid Better Than Actrapid for Treating Type 1 Diabetic Patients When Simultaneously, Daily Adjusting the Insulin Dose?

The main purpose of the study is to investigate the reason for the reduced number of hypoglycaemic attacks in type 1 diabetic patients when, for a period of time, using Insulin Aspart at meals together with NPH insulin mornings and evenings, and when, in another period of time, using human fast-working insulin at meals and NPH insulin mornings and evenings, and when the patients in both periods simultaneously take extra insulin at meals if high blood glucose values are found before meals.
