What is the primary goal of adapting insulin dosing based on the time-action profile?
What is the primary goal of adapting insulin dosing based on the time-action profile?
- To prioritize the type of insulin used over the timing of administration
- To ensure the same glucose control for all patients
- To optimize glucose control and minimize adverse effects (correct)
- To match endogenous insulin secretion precisely
What is the main difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients regarding insulin therapy?
What is the main difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients regarding insulin therapy?
- Type 1 patients require exogenous insulin for survival, while type 2 patients may initially tolerate oral agents (correct)
- Type 1 patients require more frequent insulin doses
- Type 2 patients require more advanced insulin regimens
- Type 2 patients require more types of insulin
What is the limitation of insulin regimens in achieving optimal glucose control?
What is the limitation of insulin regimens in achieving optimal glucose control?
- Insulin regimens are too complex for patients to follow
- Insulin regimens are not effective for type 2 diabetes patients
- Insulin regimens are not tailored to individual patient needs
- It is not yet possible to match exogenous insulin delivery as precisely as endogenous insulin secretion (correct)
