Untethered Regimen
The Untethered Regimen (pronunciation: un·te·thered re·gi·men) is a medical treatment approach primarily used in the management of Type 1 diabetes. The term "untethered" refers to the flexibility of the regimen, which combines the use of both an Insulin pump and long-acting Insulin injections.
Etymology
The term "Untethered Regimen" is derived from the English words "untethered", meaning not confined or restricted, and "regimen", meaning a systematic plan or course of action. In this context, it refers to a flexible treatment plan that is not strictly tied to a single method of insulin delivery.
Overview
The Untethered Regimen is a hybrid treatment approach that combines the benefits of both insulin pump therapy and long-acting insulin injections. This regimen allows for greater flexibility and freedom for individuals with Type 1 diabetes, as it reduces the reliance on a single method of insulin delivery.
