Permalean Case Studies
Case studies are a very important part of our research and development. It brings you better products and support for those products. Case studies are performed by Dr, Sheldon Milner, MD. and Dr. Philip Levin, MD.
Below are a few case studies that we thought may be of interest to you. We occasionally post new case studies so stop back often to check for new content.

Case Study #3
Diabetic Case Study 1 - Report of Continuous Glucose Sensor
Patient: T.R.
Run Date: 06/27/00 to 06/29/00
DM Type and Duration: Type 1
Control History: Brittle Type 1
Hgb-A1c: 6.4%
DM Therapy: Insulin Pump
Indications for CGMS:
Brittle Type 1 with frequent episodes of hypoglycemia. Evaluate control now that patient is on insulin pump. Evaluate effect of PermaLean bar on night-time hypoglycemia.
Comments:
Patients control on insulin pump is less brittle than before pump. Range of blood glucoses are mostly 80-190. No significant hypoglycemia while using low-carbohydrate nutrition bar (PermaLean). Post-prandial lunch and dinner blood glucoses somewhat prolonged.
Recommendations:
Overall insulin pump control seems less brittle and improved compared to multiple shots. Patient might benefit from adding 1-2u to her bolus meal coverage. (PermaLean) Low carbohydrate nutrition bar at bedtime may help reduce chance of significant nighttime hypoglycemia.
Sensor Assessment:
Sensor average over 146 hours Sensor range 60 to 260

Case Study #4
Diabetic Case Study 2 - Report of Continuous Glucose Sensor
Patient: L.T.
Run Date: 06/27/00 to 06/29/00
DM Type and Duration: Type 1
Control History: Brittle Type 1
DM Therapy: Insulin Pump
Indications for CGMS:
Brittle Type 1 with frequent episodes of hypoglycemia. Evaluate control now that patient is on insulin pump. Evaluate effect of PermaLean bar on night-time hypoglycemia.
Comments:
The PermaLean bar was given before bedtime at about 10:00 p.m. This patient did not show any significant hypoglycemia through the night. His second bar was at 9:30 a.m. after breakfast. No significant hypoglycemia occurred until 6 hours later at 4:00 p.m.
