Optimizing Insulin Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes: Strategies for Individualized Care - Monograph-Optimizing Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes

Pdf Summary

The document is a transcript of a webcast that discusses strategies for optimizing insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It covers topics such as evidence-based guidelines, initiating basal insulin therapy, personalizing treatment plans, and managing glycemic control. The webcast emphasizes the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), patient education, and addressing barriers to insulin access. It also discusses therapeutic inertia and the need to avoid overbasalization. The document includes information on different types of basal insulin products, biosimilar insulin, and the benefits of combining GLP-1 receptor agonists with basal insulin. Case studies are provided to illustrate how to optimize insulin therapy for specific patients. Overall, the document highlights the importance of individualized care and patient-centered approaches in achieving optimal glycemic control in T2DM.
