Insulin Replacement Therapy

Insulin Replacement Therapy is a treatment for people with diabetes who cannot produce enough insulin naturally. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing cells to absorb and use glucose for energy. In this therapy, patients receive insulin through injections or pumps to maintain normal blood sugar levels, preventing high (hyperglycemia) or low (hypoglycemia) sugar episodes. The dose and type of insulin are tailored to each individual's needs, lifestyle, and blood sugar patterns, helping them manage their condition effectively and reduce the risk of complications.
