PREVIEW

Insulin therapy is the mainstay of treatment for all patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 40% of those with type 2 diabetes. In this article, Dr Stoller develops a series of logical and flexible rules for effective insulin management. He advocates teaching these rules to your diabetic patients so that they are empowered to “know their numbers” and to adjust insulin doses, eating patterns, and activity levels with your help. This approach requires diligent attention to postprandial glucose testing throughout the day. He also presents three illustrative cases to test your proficiency in insulin management.
