Medication and insulin therapy management involves using a combination of medications and/or insulin to control blood sugar levels, with the goal of preventing serious complications. For type 1 diabetes, insulin is essential, while for type 2 diabetes, it may be needed when lifestyle changes and other medications aren't enough. Management requires regular blood glucose monitoring and tailoring the treatment plan, which includes the type of insulin, dose, timing, and method of delivery (like injections or pumps), to an individual's diet, activity level, and overall health.
