Abstract
Previous observations in normal subjects have suggested that when 5-g glucose pulses (P) were given in the following sequence: before (P1) and 45 min after beginning a 300 mg/min glucose infusion (P2); during the 20th hr (P3) and 1 hr after the infusion was stopped (P4); the insulin responses were consistent with a simple two-pool model. One pool is a readily available small storage pool which is refilled by a second, larger, more slowly responding pool that controls basal and steady-state insulin output. The identical protocol was employed to evaluate the insulin responses in 13 nonobese diabetic subjects.
