EFFICIENCY OF PUMP INSULIN THERAPY BY GLULISINE IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS

Rational insulin therapy provides the closest to physiological level of glucose that allows the patients to follow an active lifestyle, widens the diet, prevents development of diabetes aggravations. Pump therapy is the novel method of insulin administration. The goal of present study was to compare the efficiency of common insulin therapy — combination of protophane insulin plus aspart and pump insulin by glulisine in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus.

According to received results the pump insulin therapy by glulisine better decreased level of glucose, especially before and after breakfast, at bedtime and dawn time. Also the pump therapy provided lower level of hemoglobin A1c, which is a marker of diabetes aggravations. Thus, the obtained results have proved higher efficiency of the pump insulin therapy by glulisine over protophane insulin plus aspart routine combination.
