The conventional high dose insulin treatment of the diabetic ketoacidosis is often accompanied by complications such as hypokalemia and hypoglycemia, apart from the difficulty of a rapid restoration of the normal blood glucose values. Therefore low dose insulin treatment has been recommended in order to obtain physiological blood insulin concentrations as well as to avoid the above mentioned complications. The experiencia with this treatment schedule is reported in the present comunication.  From August 1978 to June 1979, 7 ketoacidotic episodes in 6 male patients were treated. Their ages varied from 13 to 42 years (mean 26.6); 3 patients were first diagnosed during ketoacidosis coma. The patients were unconscious, dehydrated, tachycardia, polypnea, acidosis, bicarbonate less than 10 mEq/l was present in three of them; three patients had acute renal insufficiency; one patients had a...

Objective. To determine the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and its association to factors of risk like hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, age and duration of the diabetes. Material and methods: It was carried out a prospective, observational and analytic study in the Instituto Nacional de Oftalmología of Lima, from August 1 2000 to January 30 2001. The state retinal was evaluated by means of the exam of bottom of eye previous glycemia compensation. The patients were randomized in two groups: patients with retinopathy and without retinopathy. The samples of blood and urinates they were taken to determine glycemia, HbA1c glycosidic, profile lipidic, urea, creatinine, creatinine purification and proteinuria. Results. It was studied 97 cases, 45 males and 52 women, and it was observed that the prevalence of ophthalmologic retinopathy in patients diabetic type 2 were it was 58,8% (53% ...

Introduction: Obesity is a public health problem that tends to increase and compromises the health of people. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of metabolically normal obese (OMN) subjects depending on the presence of cardiovascular risk factors in an adult population showing obesity and morbid obesity. Design: Observational, descriptive and cross-section study. Setting: Department of Endocrinology, Hospital Dos de Mayo, Lima, Peru. Participants: Obese adults without metabolic diseases. Interventions: the study was conducted during the period between April 2009 and May 2010 in all adults consulting for obesity and who declared not having type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension or dyslipidemia. Weight, height and waist circumference (WC) were obtained, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Those who had 30 kg/m2 or more were included in the study. Insulin, glucose and li...
