Insulin: Early and Often<\/p>\n
Insulin will lower your blood glucose levels whether you have type 2 or type 1 diabetes. When you maintain lower blood glucose levels, closer to the nondiabetic level, you lower your risk of the long-term complications of diabetes. The U.K. Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) showed this was true for people with type 2 diabetes in 1998. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed this in people with type 1 diabetes in 1993. <\/p>\n
Yet even today, insulin is not used early enough in the course of type 2 diabetes. And it\u00b4s not used often enough (three or four shots a day instead of the usually inadequate two shots a day ) in type 1 diabetes. The result is too many people with vision loss, kidney disease, and amputations. <\/i><\/p>\n
