Mean basal insulin dose is 0.2 U/kg/d at near normal glycaemia for type 1 or 2 diabetes on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or once‐nightly basal insulin.

Mean basal insulin dose is 0.2 U/kg/d at near normal glycaemia for type 1 or 2 diabetes on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or once-nightly basal insulin Prandial therapy, for example, rapid-acting insulin GLP-1 receptor agonists, should be considered earlier in basal insulin treatment. Basal insulin requirement is ~30% of the total daily insulin dose in type 1 diabetic patients who use the insulin pump. Dose estimation formulas for once-nightly insulin glargine and pre-meal insulin lispro in type 1 diabetes. [Extracted from the article]
