The aim was to examine the relationship between changes in insulin exposure and arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Patients with T2D with (n = 22) or without (n = 24) albuminuria, and non-diabetic controls (n = 25) were randomized to a crossover study having a breakfast with or without pre-meal rapid-acting insulin. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured at 30 min before and at 60-min intervals up to 240 m...
