title: Effect of major surgery on absorption rate of NPH insulin injected s.c.
abstract: The absorption rate of NPH insulin injected s.c. was evaluated before operation and on the day of surgery by continuous measurements of residual radioactivity of 125I-labelled insulin in 10 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The results show that major surgery has no effect on rate of absorption of intermediate acting insulin.
