Study of Recombinant Human Insulin-Like Growth Factor I in Patients With Severe Insulin Resistance - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov (http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00004419?term=IGF-1&rank=51)
What I wonder about is, why not use the newer, cheaper to manufacture, and longer-lasting "Long R3" version of IGF-1? Normal IGF-1 has done it's job and is gone within 30 minutes. Stretched over approximately 20+ hours, the benefits of lasting that long could mean reduced basal rates and reduced correction factors. I'll keep my eyes on this one.
