Stephen Clement, MD. introduces the listener to the "trade secrets " to successfully adjust insulin therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes. Insulin therapy has changed dramatically over the past ten years with the development of insulin analogs.

The author takes a look into the future of diabetes care with inhaled insulin and continuous insulin sensing.
