Metabolic benefits of growth hormone therapy in idiopathic short stature.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIM:Combined growth hormone (GH) and insulin therapy is rarely prescribed by pediatric endocrinologists. We investigated the attitude of Italian physicians to prescribing that therapy in the case of short stature and type-1 diabetes (T1DM). METHODS:A questionnaire was sent and if a patient was identified, d...
