| Abstract: | The increasing incidence of diabetes worldwide has prompted a rapid growth in the pace of scientific discovery and clinical understanding of this disease. This chapter on insulin regimens for type 1 diabetes is from a book in which well-recognized physicians and researchers review the latest thinking about the causes of type 1 diabetes and the best approaches to treating both its acute and chronic complications. The authors of this chapter review the principles of insulin treatment, types of injectable insulins, insulin regimens, practical aspects of insulin administration, monitoring glucose control, and adjusting insulin treatment during illness or surgery. The authors stress that in order to minimize the complications associated with type 1 diabetes, insulin treatment regimens must mimic the complex secretion of insulin by the beta cells of the healthy pancreas. This task remains a challenging goal. 3 figures. 2 tables. 51 references. |
