|---|
Insulin therapy for people with type 1 diabetes is life saving and without insulin the condition is terminal. Insulin treatment is also needed in a significant number of people with type 2 diabetes to optimize glycaemic control. As more people with diabetes are now being managed exclusively in primary care, GPs and those training to become GPs need to have an understanding of insulin and its use in type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
