Matching Insulin to Patient: How to Make the Best Use of Premixed Insulin Analog Formulations
Abstract
When prescribing, health care professionals have to weigh multiple options in terms of efficacy, cost, safety, practical patient-centered issues, and our precious, limited time. Innovations in insulin therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes include not only the development of premixed insulin analogs but easy-to-use delivery systems as well. This article is intended as a guide for defining the advantages and disadvantages of premixed analogs with a focus on identifying patients who would benefit from using them.
