About Insulin

Insulin therapy is a cornerstone medical procedure managed by a diabetologist for treating diabetes mellitus. It involves the careful administration of insulin, a hormone essential for regulating blood glucose levels. The diabetologist conducts a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate insulin type, dosage, and delivery method, such as injections via pens/syringes or continuous subcutaneous infusion via an insulin pump. This personalized regimen is designed to mimic the body's natural insulin release, helping to maintain optimal glycemic control, prevent acute complications like diabetic ketoacidosis, and reduce the long-term risk of damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and cardiovascular system. Ongoing monitoring and dose adjustments are integral to this life-sustaining therapy.

PATIENT REVIEW

Vivaan Malhotra, a 28-year-old software engineer,...

Vivaan Malhotra, a 28-year-old software engineer, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 12. He managed for years with meticulous diet and oral medications, but his recent HbA1c had climbed to 9.8%. He was experiencing constant fatigue, unquenchable thirst, and blurred vision. His diabetologist, Dr. Sharma, explained that his pancreas was producing insufficient insulin and recommended starting a basal-bolus insulin regimen via pen injectors. Vivaan was terrified of needles and feared the regimen would control his life. The first injection was anxiety-inducing, but the nurse's training made it surprisingly simple. Within weeks, his energy returned, his vision cleared, and his HbA1c dropped to 7.2%. Emotionally, he moved from a place of fear and resistance to one of empowerment. He now sees the insulin pens not as shackles, but as tools that grant him freedom and stability, allowing him to focus on his career and an active social life.
