State what current knowledge gaps would be in your opinion concerning the insulin. Why?
Propose one experiment/study that you may do to fill the knowledge gap of insulin. Why?
Please explain in detail. Thank you!
Insulin therapy is needed in treating patients suffering from hyperglycemiawith or without diabetes. The main disadvantage of continuous use of insulin is lifethreatening lifelong hypoglycemia.Also this therapy has gone more complex with the advent of Insulin analogs and new insulin regimens and subsequently knowledge gaps among health care professionals also leads to errors in insulin use.
To fill this gap there is a need of complete study and educating the pharmacist/nurses or physicians about the prescription and administration of insulin. The rigourous theoratical and practical training is needed for medication use. That is how the knowledge gap can be filled.
