Treatment of Graves' disease with insulin
Based on his experimental work on the antagonism between insulin and other hormones, in particular thyroidin, VM Kogan (Klin. Med., 1925, No. 7) made an attempt to treat Graves' disease with insulin and in 6 cases saw not only an improvement in well-being patients and a decrease in subjective complaints, but also an objective improvement in the disease: a decrease in bulging, goiter, weight gain in patients, disappearance of diarrhea, the appearance of normal menstruation. Insulin treatment begins with small doses and reaches 50-60 units per day, without causing side effects, and hypoglycemia is not a contraindication to this treatment.
