Functional Insulin Treatment (FIT) is the most effective
method of treatmentfor type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes
available today. Whether with an insulin pump or with mul-
tiple daily injections, the diabetic patient trained in FIT
is able to dose his insulin on the basis of actual fuction
so that he achieves near-normoglycemia and the freedom to
eat when, what and how much he wants.
Previous diabetes eduction programs have adaped the
patient's lifestyle to the conditions of therapy. The goal
ofFIT is to adapt the therapy to the lifestyle of the pa-
tient. Combined withthe opportunity for active and respon-
sible patient participation, this flexibility has an enor-
mous positive effect on the patient's long-term motivation.
This book creates a common basis for communication among
therapists (physicians, nurses, dietitians, diabetes educa-
tors) and patients involved in FIT. It clearly defines the
principles of the treatment and describes the contents,
media and techniques of a practical program for training
patients to carry it out. The reader is given a clear
pictureof just what knowledge and skills the patient needs -
and how to help him acquire them - in order to attain the
twin goals of excellent metabolic control and flexible life-
style.
