Endocrine management
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Intensive Insulin Regimen
An intensive insulin regimen using basal-bolus therapy mimics physiological insulin secretion. This approach involves long-acting basal insulin combined with rapid-acting insulin at mealtimes for optimal glucose control.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring
CGM devices provide real-time glucose readings and trend data, alerting patients to rising or falling glucose levels. This technology significantly improves glycemic outcomes and reduces hypoglycemia fear.
Additional treatment options
Medical Nutrition Therapy
Individualized medical nutrition therapy provided by a registered dietitian creates sustainable eating patterns that support glycemic targets while meeting nutritional needs across the lifespan.
dietaryInsulin Pump Therapy
Insulin pump therapy delivers rapid-acting insulin continuously via a small device, allowing precise dose adjustments for meals and offering flexibility in daily routines and scheduling.
