<h4>Background</h4>Serum calcification propensity can be monitored using the maturation time of calciprotein particles in serum (T<sub>50</sub> test). A shorter T<sub>50</sub> indicates greater propensity to calcify; this is an independent determinant of cardiovascular disease. As the intraperitoneal (IP) route of insulin administration mimics the physiology more than the subcutaneous (SC) route in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), we hypothesized that IP insulin influences determinants of ca ...[more]
