What does IIT stand for?

Type 1 (Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) Type 1 diabetes is treated with intensive insulin therapy.

Intensive insulin therapy and postoperative complications.

Also, the shift from moderate control of blood glucose to intensive insulin therapy often results in weight gain, which exacerbates feelings of body dissatisfaction and promotes a drive for thinness.

Newly Diagnosed Type 1: Pump Therapy Helps Protect Beta Cells Results from the study, "CSII Versus Intensive Insulin Therapy at Onset of Type 1 Diabetes: The IMDIAB 8 Two-Year Randomized Trials," show for the first time that the use of insulin pump therapy at the time of diagnosis is associated with the protection of insulin-making beta cells that are still functioning in the body, leading to increased insulin secretion.

Insulin therapy increases heart disease risk Intensive therapy safe for 75% of patients Researchers are confronting a new dilemma in their efforts to improve outcomes for Type I diabetics: Intensive insulin therapy can minimize complications of the disease, but for those who gain more than 30 pounds, the tradeoff is a dramatically increased risk of heart disease.

Other regimens have been developed that are classified as intensive insulin therapy and that attempt to simulate physiological insulin needs more closely.

In treating IDDM, many physicians attempt to keep blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible with intensive insulin therapy.
