CHALLENGES FOR PATIENTS USING INTENSIVE INSULIN THERAPY
Diabetes is a challenging disease for patients and caregivers to manage. For some patients,
the use of insulin is required to achieve glycemic control but it can have signifcant adverse
consequences if not used appropriately. Incorrect administration of insulin (too little, too
much, or at the wrong times) can result in both transient and serious hypo- and hyperglycemia,
severe hypoglycemia, and diabetic ketoacidosis.
Patients with Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) who are using intensive insulin, defned
as three or more injections of insulin per day or the use of an insulin pump, may have frequent
unrecognized episodes of hypoglycemia during the day and at night. These frequent episodes
can result in a patient’s awareness of hypoglycemia becoming impaired, where they have
trouble “feeling their lows” and leaving them more at risk for severe hypoglycemia and its
potential consequences of seizures, coma, or even death.
The American Diabetes Association recommends that patients using intensive insulin
monitor their blood glucose levels at least 6 to 10 times per day in order to make diabetes
treatment decisions regarding diet, lifestyle, and the safe and efective use of their treatment.
Unfortunately, due to the pain, burden and inconvenience of fngerstick testing, many patients
test far fewer times than recommended to successfully manage their disease.
Due to the stress and consequences of hypoglycemia, many patients on intensive insulin
and even their caregivers may develop a fear of hypoglycemia and will test with fngersticks
throughout the night to prevent a seizure or even death due to a hypoglycemic episode.
Unfortunately, most patients and caregivers then decide to use less insulin than prescribed,
leaving the patient hyperglycemic with essentially uncontrolled diabetes.
For many patients and caregivers, monitoring with fngersticks is difcult and does not provide
enough information to manage their diabetes with the stress afecting their sleep, quality of
life, and productivity at school and work.
