DESCRIPTION

With the introduction of several new insulins since 1996, insulin therapy options for type 1 and type 2 diabetics haveexpanded. Insulin therapies are now able to more closely mimic physiologic insulin secretion and thus achieve betterglycemic control in patients with diabetes. This chapter reviews the pharmacology of insulins (using a comparativeapproach), types of insulin regimens and therapeutic adjustment of them, and provides an overview of insulin pumptherapy.
