Patient's question:
My child is 3 years old this year. We just found out that he has type 1 diabetes. Can we use neutral insulin at home?Onset and duration of illness: 2 months
Current condition: Under insulin treatment at home
Medical history: None
Previous diagnosis and treatment history and effectiveness: Treated in Hefei
Auxiliary tests: Glucose meter
Other: None
Doctor's answer:
Type 1 diabetes must be treated with insulin. What is neutral insulin? Is it a medium-acting insulin? Insulin is divided into rapid-acting, short-acting, medium-acting, and long-acting. Type 1 diabetes should use RRRN or RRRN, which means using short-acting R plus long-acting N for three meals a day, or using rapid-acting R plus long-acting N for three meals a day. Which specific brands to use, you can refer to yourself.
