Detailed explanation-1: -Insulin. Insulin is the oldest of the currently available medications and, therefore, the treatment with which we have the most clinical experience. It is also the most effective at lowering glycemia. Insulin can, when used in adequate doses, decrease any level of elevated A1C to, or close to, the therapeutic goal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin, given either intravenously or subcutaneously, is the preferred regimen for effectively treating hyperglycemia in the hospital.

Detailed explanation-3: -The greatest advantage is for people with type 1 diabetes having blood glucose readings that are too low (hypoglycemia) and too high (hyperglycemia). The use of an insulin pump with CGM in an automated system can help reduce hypoglycemia and increase time in the target range.

Detailed explanation-4: -After eating a meal or drinking a beverage, the hormone insulin allows sugar to enter your body’s cells, where it’s used for energy. Insulin is a hormone produced by your pancreas. Hypoglycemia occurs when you have too much insulin in your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hyperglycemia is the technical term for high blood glucose (blood sugar). High blood glucose happens when the body has too little insulin or when the body can’t use insulin properly.
