Insulin Therapy, Chapter 9 - Part 1

Insulin therapy most commonly is reserved for patients in whom an adequate

trial of diet, exercise, and oral antidiabetic agents has failed. However,

institution of insulin therapy is commonly delayed inappropriately for

months to years in such patients. Both physicians and patients are hesitant.

PRACTICUM - Cases to Learn From

Diabetes Disasters Averted #1: U-500 Pharmacy Error

Last year I converted a patient to Humulin R U-500 Insulin for use in her

pump. I called a chain pharmacy to order the prescription and, to make sure

there would not be any confusion, gave the pharmacist the NDC number.

#3: Managing Type 2 Diabetes: Balancing HbA1c and Body Weight
