AbstractDiabetes mellitus is a chronic disease associated with a series of long-term microvascular and macrovascular complications that requires continuing therapeutic control. In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has developed new types of insulin and administration systems in order to more closely mimic human insulin secretion. In this way, insulin therapy is divided into conventional and intensive regimens according to their complexity. In type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, the treatment of choice is the one which achieves intensive glycemic control. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, we can start with a simplified conventional regimen which could progress into an intensive one similar to that of T1DM treatment. Both types of diabetes require an individualized treatment prescription based on the needs and characteristics of each patient.
