A Patient Who Has Been Newly Diagnosed with Diabetes and Prescribed

A patient who has been newly diagnosed with diabetes and prescribed insulin therapy asks why more than one injection of insulin each day will be required.What is your best response?

A) "You need to start with multiple injections for practice until you become more proficient at self-injection."
B) "A single daily dose of insulin would not match your blood insulin levels to your food intake patterns closely enough."
C) "Using just one dose of insulin daily would require you to eat no more than one meal each day and you could not exercise."
D) "If all your insulin were in just one injection,the dose would be too large to be absorbed predictably and you would be in danger of unexpected insulin shock."
