Abstract

Current consensus stresses intensive insulin therapy, with the goal of bringing blood glucose levels to near normal. Achieving and maintaining that goal involves educating the patient, encouraging regular glucose determinations, and gradually adjusting the dosage and timing of insulin administration to match the patient's glucose levels and lifestyle.
