title: [Edematogenic syndrome in diabetics treated with insulin: a little-known complication].
abstract: Two cases of insulin oedema similar to that of nephrotic syndrome were described. It appeared in two diabetic patients after the beginning of insulin therapy, when glycemia was normalized, as described by other Authors, with a spontaneous tendency to decrease. Pleural and pericardial effusion were also associated. The possible pathogenesis of insulin oedema in the two cases was discussed.
