Insulin Therapy

Prof. Khalifa Abdallah


Diabetes, Metabolism and Lipidology Unit
Alexandria Faculty of Medicine
Objectives
 To know indications for insulin therapy
 To know types and pharmaco-dynamics of insulin
 To know different types of insulin regimens
 To know how to initiate and titrate insulin dosage
Current indications for insulin therapy
 Patients with type 1 DM
Type 2 DM
 Initial stabilization of patients with severe hyperglycemia

 Hyperglycemic crises

 Pregnancy

 Significant liver or kidney disease

 Stressful situations ( ACS, ICU, major surgery, severe

infection, corticosteroid therapy….etc


 Patients in whom oral glucose-lowering therapy has failed

 Rapid-acting insulin analogue 10-20 min 1-2 h 3-5 h
 Long-acting insulin analogue
(glargine,Detemir) Peakless 24 h
Storage of insulin

 Stable at room temperature for 4 weeks


 Should not be exposed to temperatures >

25ºC or under freezing point


 Unused vials and cartridges should be

stored in the refrigerator


 Should never be exposed to sunlight

 Should never be frozen


Insulin Regimen

 Combination therapy (for T2DM only)


- bed-time insulin + OHA

 Total insulin replacement (Type 1&2 DM)


- Twice daily insulin mixture
- Basal-bolus regimen

Insulin Therapy for Type 2 DM
Combination therapy
 Continue Maximal dose of OHA
 Add either NPH or insulin Glargine at bed time
(both are effective but the incidence of noctural
hypoglycemia is lower with insulin Glargine)
 Start by 10 units and adjust insulin dose guided by
FBG to achieve FBG between 80 and 120 mg/dl
 If PPG <180 mg/dl continue combination therapy
otherwise shift to total insulin replacement therapy
Initiation and Titration of Basal Insulin
in DM2 patients on OHA
 Add 10 units Basal insulin at bedtime
(NPH , Detemir, or Glargine)
 Continue current oral agents
 Titrate insulin weekly to fasting BG < 120
mg/dL
- if 120-140 mg/dL, increase 2 units
- if 140-160 mg/dL, increase 4 units
- if 160-180 mg/dL, increase 6 units
- if >180 mg/dL, increase 8 units

Biphasic insulin treatment guidelines
Twice-daily regimen

Indications

Type 2 diabetic patients not controlled


on once-daily regimen
Type 1 diabetic patients

Giudelines

 For Type 2 diabetic patients stop OAD except Metformin


 Starting daily dose = 0.3-0.5 U/Kg body weight
 Give 2/3 of the total daily dose before breakfast and 1/3 before dinner
 Titrate the dose according to FBG and PPG
