Abstract
146 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is becoming a global epidemic. Type 2 DM is the most common type of diabetes. Several studies found that, with time, most patients would eventually need insulin therapy as a treatment to control their blood sugar1,2. Early intervention is essential to control hyperglycemia and prevent or delay microvascular or macrovascular complications; insulin stands in the forefront in diabetes management3-5.
