Is Insulin The Last Resort To Treat Diabetes Mellitus?

Many people think that insulin therapy is started when there is nothing else to do. They also think that there is no hope. But, this is a wrong belief. Insulin is the best method of treatment for diabetes. It is started in young people instead of drugs to prevent tissue damage. Diabetic people lack insulin. Therefore, providing insulin from outside is almost equal to the normal body functions. On the other hand, diabetic drugs are artificial preparations. They exert various side effects in the human body. Insulin should never be regarded as the last resort.

According to the available research findings, injecting insulin has shown to reserve the function of the residual beta cells. So, insulin therapy is started for those who are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2 as soon as possible.
