When it is the ideal time to start insulin treatment.It is not counterproductive to do it early to obtain normal values ​​and good quality of life.Especially when there are already neuropathies for late detection (3 or 4 years), without high values ​​in glycemia.I am M2 of Viejo (73) and I have been 6 years.

In which part does neuropathy have?Are you already putting insulin?

If we add the presence of complications, insulinization is mandatory.

Link a document, something technical, but that includes an algorithm that explains the insulinization criteria very well (page 16):
