Abstract
Summary
The capacity of RBC to take up radioactive insulin (I131) from whole blood has been studied in blood samples from normal and diabetic subjects. Prior insulin therapy induces a marked reduction in RBC uptake. Dietary management and/or sulfonylurea therapy does not induce a reduced RBC uptake of radio-insulin. These findings are interpreted to represent a simple technic for demonstrating the presence of insulin antibodies.
