Approach to management.

This paper describes a physiologic approach to diabetes management called pattern therapy and compares it with the sliding scale or "catch-up" type of management. Pattern therapy differs from the sliding scale approach in that it anticipates rather than reflects insulin needs, and it relies heavily on intensive patient education and intelligent self-management. Frequent blood glucose monitoring is also a key aspect of pattern therapy.
