Insulin Management
The systems for streamlined and accurate insulin delivery.
Multiple Daily Injections (MDI)
Multiple Daily Injections, or MDI, is a consolidated insulin therapy approach where individuals inject insulin several times a day using a syringe, insulin pen, or a needle. This method typically combines long-acting (basal) insulin, which provides a steady level of insulin, with rapid-acting (bolus) insulin, taken before meals to manage the rise in blood glucose levels after eating.
MDI offers a straightforward and effective way to manage diabetes. It allows users to tailor their insulin doses to their carbohydrate intake, physical activity levels, and blood sugar readings. The flexibility to adjust the type and amount of insulin as needed makes MDI a versatile option for many people with diabetes.
Benefits of MDI:
- Simplicity and Ease of Use: MDI involves straightforward techniques that are easy to learn and implement, making it a practical option for many individuals.
- No Need to Wear a Device: For those who prefer not to wear an insulin pump, MDI provides a discreet and non-intrusive alternative.
- Lower Initial Cost: Generally, MDI has a lower upfront cost compared to the expense of an insulin pump and its associated supplies.
- Greater Insurance Flexibility: MDI is widely covered by insurance plans, often with fewer restrictions compared to insulin pump therapy.
- Ability to Adjust Insulin Types and Brands: MDI offers the flexibility to use different types of insulin, including newer formulations that may not be available for pump use.
