Non-diabetic uses of insulin
Posted: 04-15-08 06:34am

Insulin can be used in cases of artificial (parenteral) nutrition with intra venous infusions. It improve the glucose absorption by the cells.
It is also used for treating some cases of poisoning with Calcium channel blockers (Veraspamil, Nifedipine) together with glucose infusions.
