Insulin in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes—Should the Dose of Insulin Before a Meal be Based on Glycemia or Meal Content?

Abstract: The aim of this review was to investigate existing guidelines and scientific evidence on determining insulin dosage in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and in particular to check whether the prandial insulin dose should be calculated based on glycemia or the meal composition, including the carbohydrates, protein and fat content in a meal. By exploring the effect of the meal composition on postprandial glycemia we demonstrated that several factors may influence the increase in glycemia after the meal, wh… Show more

“…22 Patients with diabetes are required to adjust their prandial insulin doses based on size and content of a meal and premeal blood glucose levels to achieve optimum PPG control. 24 Across the 3 clinically relevant doses studied, insulin lispro exposure after URLi increased proportionally with increasing dose. In addition, the accelerated insulin lispro absorption, reduction in late exposure, and an overall shorter PK duration with URLi compared with Lispro was consistent across the doses (7, 15, and 30 U).…”

“…Despite the improvements achieved with the new insulin formulations, multiple daily injection therapy does not allow variations in the speed or duration of prandial insulin delivery [74]. Greater flexibility is guaranteed by the insulin pump therapy, which enables to modify prandial insulin delivery according to the composition of the meal so as to mitigate PP glucose excursions [75]. Several studies have evaluated PP glucose response following meals with different composition and different types of insulin boluses (single/quick bolus, two/split bolus, square wave bolus, dual wave bolus) [76,77,78,79].…”

“…The management of type 2 diabetes may also include the administration of insulin. But questions remain whether the dose of insulin before a meal should be based on glycemia or meal content [24]. Krzymien et al [24] reviewed existing guidelines and scientific evidence on insulin dosage in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and explored the effect of the meal composition such as carbohydrate, protein and fat on postprandial glucose.…”

Krzymien et al [24] reviewed existing guidelines and scientific evidence on insulin dosage in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and explored the effect of the meal composition such as carbohydrate, protein and fat on postprandial glucose. The authors found that in most current guidelines aimed at establishing prandial insulin doses in type 1 diabetes, only carbohydrates are counted, whereas in type 2 diabetes the meal content is often not taken into consideration.…”
