    This practical guide describes the most currently used insulins--classified according to their duration of action, the insulin pens and the glucose monitoring devices. Various strategies of insulin treatment for type 2 diabetes are explained, with emphasis on the two most frequently used forms of therapy: combined daily oral agents and nocturnal insulin, and twice daily injections of long-acting insulin. The advantages and disadvantages of premixed insulin are described. Finally, the four main topics of patient education for starting insulin therapy are mentioned.
