Abstract

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing insulin therapy are nowadays not uncommon, but the routine practice of a doctor. Modern drugs provide a wide range of therapy options. The evolution of insulin in the 100 years since its discovery in 1921 and its successful use in 1922 has been incredibly fast. Despite this, it is impossible to speak of full compensation for absolutely all diabetic patients. So, in my practice, I encountered long-term decompensated patients who, for various reasons, were not able to achieve their goals in terms of glycemic control. A patient with decompensation confirmed after installation of continuous monitoring and subsequent correction of therapy was chosen as an example. With further follow-up, a clinically significant improvement in diabetes compensation was obtained, which I associate precisely with its transfer to insulin degludec. Stable compensation and the absence of progression of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus is the result we were striving for.
