Evaluating the Impact of Intensifying Treatment from Human to Analogue Insulin on Glycaemic Control and Insulin Expenditure in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Achieving good glycaemic control is essential to reducing the risk of diabetes complications. Insulin is the most effective therapy for achieving good glycaemic control; however, it is associated with a higher risk of hypoglycaemia, especially with human insulin. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intensification from human to analogue insulin and its added cost.
