Right Insulin, Right Patient, Right Device

Approximately 90%-95% of people with Diabetes have type 2 Diabetes which results from decreased sensitivity to insulin (Insulin resistance). Type 2 diabetes can be easy to ignore, especially in the early stages when you're feeling fine. But diabetes affects many major organs, including your heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes and kidneys. Controlling blood sugar levels can help prevent these complications. Insulin therapy is recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and an initial A1C level greater than 9 percent, or if diabetes is uncontrolled despite optimal oral glycemic therapy.

In this lecture we will discuss the differences between premixed insulins and basal bolus regimen and when flexibility is needed vs simplicity for patients.
