Hygieia
The Insulin Paradox And A Promising Fix
Insulin has been available for nearly 100 years, but we still aren’t using it effectively. Today, over 8 million people in the US and over 30 million worldwide use insulin to treat their diabetes. Most never reach their target HbA1c because the level of personal support required to titrate insulin effectively isn’t possible. This leads to poor health and complications for people with diabetes and higher prescription and healthcare costs. Studies have shown that for insulin to be effective it needs to be adjusted up to 100 times per year. Each adjustment would mean a physician or diabetes nurse educator has to attend to the patient. Today’s healthcare system is not built to handle this level of support....that’s where HYGIEIA comes in.
