Condition
Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM type II)
Intervention
The patients are admitted to the metabolic unit of the Academic Medical Centre at 4.30 pm, with the last meal and usual insulin dosage of short-acting insulin taken at 12.00 am. The long-acting insulin is injected in the subcutis of the thigh at bedtime. Measurements of Hepatic Glucose Production (HGP), lipolysis and proteolysis will start one hour after the administration of the basal insulin at bedtime.
