Abstract
The major goal of phase II is to set up and test individualized algorithms (rules) for insulin substitution. The patient learns to use his algorithms to keep his blood glucose level close to his chosen target by correcting off-target blood glucose values (primary adjustment of insulin dosage). He also learns to modify his algorithms as necessary (secondary adjustment). He explores the possibilities of improving his quality of life and tests the limits of functional insulin treatment.
