What is intensive insulin therapy?
The goal of intensive insulin therapy is to keep your blood sugar level as close to normal as possible. It can help your body meet its need for insulin just as your body did before you had diabetes. Intensive insulin therapy can help you better manage your blood sugar, add more freedom and flexibility to your life, and may help reduce your risk of diabetes-related health problems. You may need to take insulin and use your meter when you are away from home. Fortunately, insulin delivery systems are now available that are more convenient than vial and syringe. Learn more about some of the different types of insulin delivery systems.
