The use of bolus insulin and advancing insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes.
Attention to meal-related insulin replacement in type 2 diabetes is important as insulin deficiency progresses. The physiology in type 2 and type 1 diabetes differs, and optimal use of basal-bolus therapy in type 2 diabetes requires attention to such issues as the role for oral medications, residual endogenous insulin, and differing meal patterns in older and more obese individuals.
