  3. 12. Long-acting insulin analogs in type 1 diabetes : effects on metabolic control, endogenous insulin production and the GH-IGF-axis

    Författare :Jenny Salemyr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The treatment goal in type 1 diabetes is to achieve near-normal glycemia.
