Insulin
Insulin availability
- Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes are dependent on insulin for survival
- ISPAD and IDF are working towards universal insulin availability for all children and adolescents with diabetes (see Summary of essential requirements) and are promoting universal insulin labeling
|
Insulin treatment must be started as soon as possible after
diagnosis (usually within 24 h if ketonuria is present) to prevent
metabolic decompensation and diabetic ketoacidosis
