Overview

Treatment should always lead to optimal compensation of diabetes. Views regarding insulintreatment of patients with type 2 diabetes are not always uniform. While insulin therapy intype 1 diabetes is beyond doubt, in type 2 diabetes it is associated with a number of possibleproblems and errors ensuing from them. In these patients it is always necessary to considercarefully the general health status of patients and indication of insulin treatment but thisshould not imply postponement or abondonement of treatment in indicated patients. Somepatients are indicated for insulin treatment even after brief persistence of diabetes on accountof failure of oral antidiabetics, late complications or other reasons.We must not forget the needof self-monitoring and comprehensive education of these patients. The paper gives a briefaccount of indications and ways of insulin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Key words:
diabetes mellitus type 2 - insulin - therapy.
