title: High-dose dietary myo-inositol supplementation does not alter the ischaemia phenomenon in human diabetics.
abstract: Five diabetic patients and 3 non-diabetics were subjected to a dietary supplement of 20 g per day of myo-inositol (40 X the normal ingestion) for 14 days. This amount neither produced toxic side-effects nor changed the peripheral nervefunction expressed by motor conduction velocity or resistance to ischaemia.
