📌 Indications for Initial Insulin Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes
Insulin is not always a last resort. In certain situations, early insulin initiation is crucial for metabolic control and patient safety.
🔹 Start insulin initially in T2DM when:
1️⃣ Severe hyperglycemia
• Very high blood glucose levels
• Symptomatic or uncontrolled despite oral agents
2️⃣ Secondary diabetes due to pancreatic insufficiency
• Chronic pancreatitis
• Pancreatic surgery
• Pancreatic cancer
3️⃣ Catabolic diabetes
• Polyuria
• Polydipsia
• Unintentional weight loss
• Features of insulin deficiency
4️⃣ Early intensive insulin therapy
• Short-term intensive insulin may
✔ Restore β-cell function
✔ Improve insulin sensitivity
✔ Induce remission for ≥1 year in some patients
🎯 Key Message:
Early insulin use can be strategic, protective, and temporary — not a failure.
