The use of insulin for early diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in primary health care in Indonesia: a general practitioner’s perspective
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Allied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Indonesia, one of the greatest population countries, contributes a significant increase of global prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The need of insulin treatment is significantly rising as many cases do not meet the recommended glycemic target with oral glycemic lowering drug (OGLD). However, there is a discrepancy between guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health of Indonesia through national formulary and the Indonesian Medical Council through Indonesian medical standard of competency. Here, we described our point of view about the situation of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia, a matter of insulin availability in public health centre, and recommendations to solve this issue.
