The Basal-Bolus Insulin Concept • Basal insulin • Controls glucose production between meals and overnight • Nearly constant levels • 50% of daily needs • Bolus insulin (mealtime or prandial) • Limits hyperglycemia after meals • Immediate rise and sharp peak at 1 hour postmeal • 10% to 20% of total daily insulin requirement at each meal • For ideal insulin replacement therapy, each component should come from a different insulin with a specific profile

Insulin pens Faster and easier than syringes Improve patient attitude and adherence Have accurate dosing mechanisms, but inadequate mixing may be a problem Insulin Injection Devices
Insulin Pumps Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) • External, programmable pump connected to an indwelling subcutaneous catheter to deliver rapid-acting insulin Intraperitoneal insulin infusion • Implanted, programmable pump with intraperitoneal catheter. Not available in the United States
New Insulins in Clinical Development • Long-acting insulin analogue –Insulin detemir • Acylated insulin analogue • Soluble, binds to albumin • Rapid-acting insulin analogue –Insulin 1964 • Limited aggregation, like lispro and aspart • Rapid absorption from injection site • Inhaled insulins –Aerodose, AERx, Exubera • Liquid aerosol or particulate cloud • Delivered by portable devices • Buccally absorbed insulin –Oralin • Liquid aerosol • Delivered by portable device

SummaryInsulin Therapy • Replaces complete lack of insulin in type 1 diabetes • Supplements progressive deficiency in type 2 diabetes • Basal insulin added to oral agents can be used to start • Full replacement requires a basal-bolus regimen • Hypoglycemia and weight gain are the main medical risks • New insulin analogues and injection devices facilitate use
