Adjustment of the basal to prandial insulin analogue ratio leads to improved compensation in type 1 diabetes mellitus
2007
Abstract
The case demonstrates that preservation of physiologic proportion of prandial and basal insulin secretion in the "basal-bolus" treatment regime results in better metabolic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus. In the reported case, the adjustment of proportion between the short-term and the long-term analogue was possible without the change of the total daily insulin dose.
