Yet, knowing when to properly initiate and titrate insulin therapy in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes is unfamiliar to many clinicians. In this activity, an expert discusses current guidance for incorporating individual preferences in insulin therapy in a variety of treatment regimens, models effective communication strategies in telehealth visits, and offers approaches to overcome common barriers to therapeutic inertia and engage patients to improve time in range and reduce postprandial glucose excursions. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Incorporate newer options in mealtime insulin and the latest advances in technology to overcome barriers to insulin initiation, simplify insulin delivery and dosing, improve postprandial glucose (PPG) levels and time in range (TIR), and enhance the quality of life in patients with insulin-treated diabetes, Engage in patient-centered discussions across the interprofessional care team to optimize use of the latest advances in rapid acting insulin and insulin technology to support patient-centered diabetes care.
