This week’s core session of Grand Rounds focuses on Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition that requires lifelong insulin therapy. Management centers on maintaining glucose control through regular monitoring, insulin adjustments, and preventing complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The transition from DKA treatment to subcutaneous insulin begins once acidosis resolves. Advanced technologies, such as insulin pumps, support outpatient care by providing more precise and flexible insulin delivery.
