Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria were the following relative indications for insulin treatment according to the Japan Diabetes Society: 1) detection of marked hyperglycemia (e.g., fasting plasma glucose > 250 mg/dL or casual plasma glucose > 350 mg/dL) in the non-insulin-dependent state, 2) failure to achieve good glycemic control with oral hypoglycemic agents, 3) deterioration of the nutritional status in a lean patient, or 4) to achieve active control of glucose toxicity when this is needed.
