Therapeutic strategies for CIP and CIM. No specific therapy has been proved to be beneficial to manage CIP or CIM. Supportive measures including nutritional interventions, anti-oxidant therapies, hormone replacement, and immunoglobulins have been proposed. Intensive insulin therapy remarkably improves blood glucose control, and independently reduces the incidence of CIP/CIM. Early rehabilitation combining mobilization with physiotherapy is also advisable.
