About this study
The purpose of this research is to evaluate outcomes of physiologic insulin re-sensitization (PIR) in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
Interventions
- Other: Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR) — PIR is a physician-directed treatment that uses an exterior infusion pump to deliver insulin intravenously.
Primary outcomes
- Estimated Glomular Filtration Rate (eGFR) (12 and 24 weeks)
- Blood Urea Nitrogen/Creatinine Ratio (BUN/Cr) (12 and 24 weeks)
- Cystatin C (12 and 24 weeks)
- Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) (12 and 24 weeks)
