The daily insulin requirement may be higher in patients with insulinrezistentnost (e.g. in puberty, and in patients with obesity) and lower in patients with residual endogenous insulin production. If patients with diabetes achieved optimal glycemic control, complications of diabetes they have, as a rule, appear later. In this regard, the aim should be to optimize metabolic control, in particular by conducting thorough monitoring of glucose levels in the blood.
