Effects of Insulin Detemir and NPH Insulin on Renal Handling of Sodium, Fluid Retention, and Weight in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Summary

Hypothesis: Changing type 2 patients treatment from Insulin Insulatard to Insulin Detemir will increase their excretion of sodium in the urine and thereby decrease their extracellular volume and body weight. 24 patients are divided into 2 groups and their insulin treatment is shifted while their body composition, sodium excretion, weight and extracellular volume is monitored.
