In parallel, there was a consistent increase in mean daily blood glucose levels that correlated with the number of days of catheter use (e.g., day 1: 7.5 ?? 3.8 mmol/liter, day 3: 8.4 ?? 4.2 mmol/liter, day 5: 9.0 ?? 4.0 mmol/liter, day 7: 11.6 ?? 2.2 mmol/liter, p < 0.05 vs day 1).ConclusionsUsing the catheters for 2 days resulted in a safe and well-tolerated therapy.
