  • Title: Type 2 Diabetes, Hypoglycemia, and Basal Insulins: Ongoing Challenges.
    Author: Blumer I, Clement M.
    Journal: Clin Ther; 2017 Aug; 39(8S2):S1-S11. PubMed ID: 27871780.
    Abstract:
    Hypoglycemia in people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes can be a limiting factor for management and a barrier to optimizing glycemic control. Even mild episodes of hypoglycemia can affect an individual's quality of life, and fear of hypoglycemia can lead to underinsulinization. This article explores the prevalence and consequences of hypoglycemia in people with type 2 diabetes with a focus on those who use basal insulins, offering strategies for prevention and management. It also discusses the benefits and challenges associated with new basal insulins, and their potential role in reducing hypoglycemia risk.
