Official Title: Effects of Pulsatile Intravenous Insulin on Brittle Diabetes and Glucose Control

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if restoring normal metabolic function in patients with either type I or type II diabetes can improve the impact of the consequences of diabetic complications specifically on the wide swings in blood glucoses with erratic control even under optimal conditions. Patients are treated once a week with pulsatile intravenous insulin therapy mimicking normal insulin secretion. Blood sugar diaries and laboratory tests including quarterly Hemoglobin A1c levels are monitored to measure progress and outcomes.
