Managing Diabetes with Insulin


When your body doesn't make enough insulin, or it can't effectively use the insulin it does produce, your doctor may prescribe insulin therapy.

An insulin therapy regimen includes the types of insulin you take, when you take them and how much you take. There are many excellent therapy regimens. The one that your doctor prescribes may not fit exactly into the categories you see here.
