[Optimal frequency of hyperbaric oxygenation courses in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus]
Abstract:
Repeated courses of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in patients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are much more effective than a single course as regards their favorable influence on carbohydrate metabolism and hormonal and metabolic parameters (recovery of residual insulin secretion and suppression of secretion of contra-insulin hormones). Three courses of HBO administered to NIDDM patients at 4 months intervals are more effective than two courses at 6 months interval; at the same time during a three-course modality the maximal favorable HBO effect on the hormonal and metabolic status is attained after the second course, and the third one only fortifies the attained favorable effect.
