        Metabolic Industries (MI) offers licenses for Metabolic Activation Therapy (MAT) the patented, chronic, intravenous insulin therapy that can stabilize, improve and often reverse the complications of severe diabetes.  MI is the sole commercial agent with the worldwide licensing rights to MAT (with the exception of  Asia) and MI has unique expertise in providing MAT training for physicians and staff.  

       MI offers MAT as a major addition to the armamentarium of Endocrinologists, especially for treatment of those patients with diabetes whose complications progress despite "good control" and "state of the art" therapy, or patients who have difficulty maintaining intensive insulin therapy due to hypoglycemic reactions.  MAT therapy produces a unique metabolic improvement that is not seen with other IV insulin infusions or with the typical subcutaneous insulin pump.

     MAT was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Thomas T. Aoki while he was a researcher at the Joslin Research Laboratory, affiliated with Harvard Medical School.  This therapy has been described in peer-reviewed medical journals using several different names.  A few of the more common names are: chronic intermittent intravenous insulin therapy (CIIIT), metabolic activation therapy (MAT), pulsatile therapy, pulse insulin therapy (PIT), pulsatile intravenous insulin therapy (PIVIT) and hepatic activation.  

      Experience has shown that Endocrinologists, or Internists with a great deal of experience treating diabetes,  are the physicians best suited to provide this therapy.  MAT is most effective when it is used in a program tailored to the patient by the treating Endocrinologist.  With that in mind, MI offers licenses for MAT to Endocrinologists and similarly trained health care professionals.  MI also provides training in MAT use, ongoing assistance with MAT programs , monitoring of  MAT therapy, and assessments of patient outcomes.
