Supported Therapies

In the course of the disease pattern of Diabetes mellitus (Type II Diabetic), the patient has to undertake several therapy levels and examinations. First attempt is to change the habit of eating to reduce the necessary amount of Insulin reducing the eaten amount of sugar and to reduce weight parallely. In the second phase, the patient gets tablets to increase excrete of insulin.

Finally the moment is there when insulin has to be accepted as the only alternative - the first insulin injection. For every patient, an optimal insulin therapy has to be found now.

Which therapy has to be chosen must be evaluated together with the supporting care of your doctor, diabetologist or your nutritionist - individually the optimal and practical therapy has to be determined. Crucial therefore are your Blood sugar values, the effectivity of the used Insulin, your way of life and - last but not least - your personal engagement.

The basic concept of this diabetes area inside Medicment is to support the dialogue between you - the patient -, and your caring doctor.

Please, think about it: change the data of your basis values only with the agreement of your doctor! A phone consultation can be enough, because both of you can view the values and graphs per internet at the same time, and you can discuss it.

Especially non experienced Diabetics should never change the settings, under no circumstances, without preceding consultation of your doctor! Uncontrolled changements would be as risky, as a flight without air traffic controller.

Medicment supports all kinds of therapies.

The intensified insulin therapy outstands all other therapy forms. This is stated as the current fact of diabetology. The earlier you change to this therapy, the faster diabetics life quality improves. Consequential damages can be minimized or even be avoided.

The intensified Insulin therapy bases on two different kinds of insulin. The first one is a long-term insulin, that takes effect app. 12-24 hours and is usually taken in the evening (exceptions are made e.g. in case of night shifts). The second kind of insulin, so called fast acting insulin is taken at each meal. This one is exactly adjusted according to the actual blood sugar level and the Bread units you want to eat.

The calculation of the needed fast acting insulin doses is obstructed by the fact, that dependent on the day-time you need a different amount of fast acting Insulin per Bread Unit. Stress, changements of the body load compared to normal conditions, or illnesses (e.g. the flue), can change your body`s reaction to insulin.

A usual problem is the exact estimation of the bread units, that you want to eat. This accuracy grows with your daily routine.

Medicment helps you to understand the influencing parameters.
