Abstract

We assessed whether insulin types and monitoring methods were relevant to glycaemic control, microvascular complications as well as costs of management in 208 patients with youth onset diabetes in India. The type of insulin and monitoring method used made no difference to the glycaemic and complication status. Cost considerations support bovine insulin use along with urine glucose monitoring as an appropriate approach to diabetes self care in developing countries.
