Insulin therapy

It is a set of measures aimed at achieving compensation for carbohydrate metabolism disorders by introducing insulin preparations into the patient's body.

A self-monitoring diary is needed in order to monitor diabetes. At the initial stage of this disease or during decompensation, the self-control diary should become your companion. It will allow you to understand where you inadvertently made a mistake, where you need to adjust the dose of insulin. It will also help your doctor assess the compensation of your diabetes and, if necessary, assist you in adjusting the dose of insulin or nutrition.
