Moderní léčba inzulinem není revoluce, ale evoluce. Clifton J. Bailey, 2012

Overview

The main goal of modern insulin treatment is to bring diabetes control to physiological regulation as close as possible. We move from human insulin to insulin analogues which may due to their properties reduce glucose excursions (glucose variability) with hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episodes. Besides short acting insulin analogues diminishing extension of hyperinsulinemia and postprandial hypoglycemia observed by human insulin treatment, the long-acting analogues are used to create stabilized insulin level and to prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia. Individualized insulin treatment is the basement for modern trends in diabetology.

Key words:
human insulin – insulin analogues – individualized therapy
