title: Novel insulins and strict glycemic control. Analogues approximate normal insulin secretory response.
abstract: Our ability to gain strict glycemic control in diabetes has improved with the introduction of novel insulins. New formulations, novel insulin molecules, and various methods of insulin delivery are able to more closely approximate the normal physiologic insulin response than conventional preparations. In this article, the authors review the development of insulin formulations and the pharmacology of currently available insulin molecules and those soon to be on the market.
