has anyone heard of hepatic activation?

I was just looking at some different diabetes websites and happened
upon a site discussing metabolic or hepatic activation. It says that
the therapy consists of IV insulin therapy for 6 hours a week that is
supposed to help regulate blood sugars better than just regular
insulin therapy alone. Has anyone heard of this or currently doing
this? I’ve been diabetic for about 24 years now and have lots of
complications. I would love to find something to help me get better
control! Thanks for any input! Donna

    watch your diet, exercise and TAKE INSULIN INJECTIONS, why also have IV
    infusion. I guess it’s something for people with poor- -cont=r];

    I guess it’s for people with poor control using the conventional methods.
