Article Description

U-500 insulin can result in improvement in glycemic control with reasonable dosing amounts so that patients do not have to take 2-3 injections to get the volume of insulin they need for a single dose. Adding pramlintide to a U-500 regimen can help patients improve their control while assisting them with hunger and weight issues. Most importantly, such a regimen can give hope to severely insulin-resistant patients who have had difficulty with diabetes control using conventional U-100 insulin products.
