Description
Insulin therapy often is an important part of diabetes treatment. It helps keep blood sugar under control and prevents diabetes complications. It works like the hormone insulin that the body usually makes.
Objectives
Uses of insulin in the management of diabetes.
Insulin therapy keeps blood sugar within target range. It helps prevent serious complications.
If a patient has type 1 diabetes, you need insulin therapy to stay healthy. It replaces the insulin your body doesn't make.
If they have type 2 diabetes, insulin therapy might be part of their treatment. It's needed when healthy-lifestyle changes and other diabetes treatments don't control your blood sugar well enough.
Insulin therapy also is sometimes needed to treat a type of diabetes that happens during pregnancy. This is called gestational diabetes. If you have gestational diabetes, you might need insulin therapy if healthy habits and other diabetes treatments don't help enough.
