Hello, thanks for the query. Please clarify what is the meaning of "acute diabetes" as there is no such term. It is either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. In a person if his pancreas does not produce insulin at all, then he or she needs insulin injections, this is type 1 dm. Most common is t2 where oral drugs are used initially later insulin may be needed in most patients it appears she has t1 dm. It is better to consult the local diabetologist as strict control needs to be achieved. She may need using of a continuous glucose monitoring system to streamline her insulin dosage. Thanks.
