Participant Flow

A total of 13 adults \< 50 years of age with type 1 diabetes were recruited over a period of 5 months to receive treatment at a university-affiliated state hospital-based endocrinology clinic.

A total of 13 subjects were randomized to treatment. Due to poor venous access an IV could not be started in one subject, so only 12 subjects received treatment.
