The levels of immunoreactive insulin, C-peptide and insulin containing erythrocytes were studied in 26 patients on the 2nd and 12th day of their stay in hospital. A higher level of C-peptides was found in the patients as compared to healthy subjects. The level of immunoreactive insulin of the patients did not differ significantly from that of healthy subjects. The number of insulin containing erythrocytes in the patients was much lower than in healthy subjects. Their number after therapy did not rise considerably. There was no correlation between these indices.
