Conventional insulinotherapy is a therapeutic regimen for diabetes mellitus treatment.
It can be contrasted with intensive insulinotherapy.
This is an older method that is still in use in a proportion of cases.
Insulin injections of a mixture of rapid and intermediate acting Insulin are
performed once or twice daily. Frequent estimations of blood glucose is not
required.
The down side of this method is the fact that it is difficult to achieve
as good results of glycemic control as with intensive insulinotherapy.
