| Abstract |
|
The human growth hormone (hGH) levels were evaluated in 13 diabetes mellitus, 11 patients were
insulin dependent diabetes (ages 2 yr 10 mo to 13 yr 14 mo), 2 patients were noninsulin dependent
diabetes (age 12 yr & 12 yr 5 mo).
No difference in hGH level was observed in relation to duration of diabetes. The hGH responses to
glucagon 1 mg injection in diabetes were greater than normal controls (p<0.05). The hGH levels in
type 1 DM were higher than type II DM. The hGH levels were higher in poorly controlled diabetes
than good controlled one.
Thus, the hypersecretion of growth hormone may be the cause as much as the consequence of poor
diabetic control.
