New Options for Basal and Bolus Insulin
TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR DIABETES® - THE PODCAST! ...With Expert Endocrinologists Living with T1D, Drs. Steven V. Edelman & Jeremy Pettus
Insulin: everyone with type 1 needs it and a lot of people with type 2 use it as well. So why is it so hard to find a breakdown of the different kinds of insulins and their benefits? Drs. E and P are taking a deep dive into all things insulin from the different basal insulins, including long-acting, to the different types of bolus insulin, including fast-acting, and discussing tips for adjusting your doses to improve your time in range. We’ve got your need-to-know insulin guide!
Questions We’ll Cover in This Episode:
- How does the body operate when it makes insulin (someone without diabetes?) How does this differ from someone with diabetes?
- How does injectable insulin differ from insulin produced in the body?
- How do I titrate my insulin dose?
- What is basal insulin and how does it work?
- What has been the progression of developing new basal insulins from standard to long-acting?
- How do I know if I need to adjust my basal insulin dose?
- What is bolus insulin? What is prandial insulin?
- What has been the progression of developing new bolus insulins from standard to fast-acting?
- What’s going on with inhaled insulin?
- How do I adjust insulin around meals? What are common patterns you, as doctors, see around glucose levels and meals?
