Initiating insulin therapy doesn’t have to be complicated. With insulin glargine (Glysolin G), primary care physicians can confidently start and titrate basal insulin using clear, evidence-based strategies to achieve optimal glycemic control while minimizing risks.
Recommends initiating basal insulin at 10 units/day or 0.1-0.2 units/kg/day, with dose adjustments of 10-15% or 2–4 units once or twice weekly to achieve target fasting plasma glucose (FPG).
