Insulin treatment in Japan.
The therapeutic methods of treating Japanese cases of diabetes with insulin have been developed following the lead of the USA and European countries. With support from the National Health Care System, most clinics have been able to provide relatively good care of diabetic patients under treatment, but judging from the increase in the number of patients with chronic diabetic complications, the development of better methods of treatment and their wider application is a matter of great urgency.
