title: [Intensified insulin therapy. References for general practice for increased control].
abstract: Today, intensified conventional insulin therapy (ICT) is the standard treatment for type 1 diabetes, but patients with type 2 diabetes younger than 70 also profit it. Within an international framework too, the DCCT study has confirmed the usefulness of intensified insulin therapy. Factors that have a decisive influence on the success of such treatment are the choice of a suitable insulin, its dose, site of injection, and prandial adaptation. The various possibilities of carrying out ICT are discussed.
