INS and type 1 diabetes mellitus: Bural et al. studied 110 oncologic patients imaged with FDG PET/CT, 55 insulin dependent diabetes patients, and 56 comparable nondiabetic controls; they observed that the average blood-glucose-corrected SUVmax and SUVmean valules were significantly higher (27% and 20%, respectively) in insulin-dependent subjects in all arterial segments (aorta, iliac, and femoral arteries).
