Adequate treatment of insulin dependent diabetes with insulin, properly implemented and accurately indicated, ensures good control which guarantees a favourable effect on the clinical course of diabetes. The main advantage of treatment is to maintain a stable insulinaemia during the interprandial period and during the night, during the postprandial period its necessary rise to ensure glycogen formation in the liver and peripheral glucose utilization. In some diabetics for certain reasons the usual injection treatment fails and it is thus necessary to know all essential conditions of non-conventional treatment-continuous insulin infusions. In the submitted paper the authors emphasize the objective and purpose of insulin treatment by a continuous infusion. Attention is drawn to the most frequent therapeutic errors, to conditions which call for caution, contraindications are defined.
