Insulin Management

Meaning

Insulin management is the clinical and lifestyle strategy systematically implemented to regulate blood glucose concentrations and maintain metabolic homeostasis in individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus or significant insulin resistance. This comprehensive approach involves the precise monitoring of blood glucose, the judicious administration of exogenous insulin therapy, the careful adjustment of dietary carbohydrate intake, and the implementation of regular physical activity. Effective management aims to prevent both acute, life-threatening complications, such as severe hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis, and the long-term microvascular and macrovascular damage associated with chronic hyperglycemia. The ultimate goal is to optimize the body’s energy utilization and preserve the integrity of the vascular and endocrine systems.
