Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a significant burden to patients in the United States, with an estimated 10–15 % of the population affected. It remains a major cause of death within the United States. As described by the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, intensive insulin-based therapy delays the onset and slows the progression of secondary complications of diabetes. These complications include retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy. Although the insulin treatment regimens and modalities have advanced considerably over the past several decades, no patient can truly achieve euglycemia. Patients who are able to maintain very low serum blood sugars have a significantly increased incidence of hypoglycemic incidents, leading to morbidity, decreased quality of life, and mortality.
