What are the long-term effects of insulin therapy on beta-cell function, and can it slow the progression of beta-cell decline in diabetes?
1. Long-term insulin therapy may help preserve beta-cell function by reducing their workload and slowing their decline in type 2 diabetes patients.
2. Over time, insulin therapy can reduce beta-cell stress and potentially decelerate their functional decline, contributing to better management of diabetes.
3. Prolonged insulin use has been shown to potentially stabilize beta-cell function and slow the progression of beta-cell loss in diabetic individuals.
