Insulin Therapy for Diabetes: Diabetes in Control answers key questions about the uses and challenges of insulin in diabetes management, including:
– How insulin is used to treat diabetes
– How/when a healthcare professional should consider insulin therapy for diabetes patients
– What a healthcare professional needs to know about making insulin therapy safe and effective

Fasting With Type 1 Diabetes? A New Trial Puts Time-Restricted Eating to the Test

Adult with type 1 diabetes wearing a continuous glucose monitor beside a healthy meal, glucose meter, and clock representing time-restricted eating.

Time-restricted eating has become a popular approach to weight management, but what happens when insulin-dependent diabetes enters the picture? Until recently, evidence on time-restricted eating in people with type 1 diabetes was notably limited. A new randomized controlled trial published in Diabetes Care offers some of the first direct evidence. …

Human vs. Analogue Insulin: Does Newer Really Mean Better for Type 1 Diabetes?

Human insulin and analogue insulin options used in Type 1 diabetes treatment

The choice of human vs analogue insulin is especially important for people with Type 1 diabetes who live where healthcare resources are limited. Analogue insulins are often preferred because their action can be more predictable and flexible. However, human insulin is generally less expensive and may be easier for health …

Could Dissolving Microneedle Patches Make Diabetes Injections a Thing of the Past?

Dissolving microneedle patch for diabetes shown on the skin alongside insulin delivery and glucose monitoring technology.

For millions of people who use injectable diabetes medications, treatment can mean living with needles every day. What if a small skin patch could eventually deliver insulin or other therapies with far less discomfort? Researchers studying microneedle patches for diabetes hope to make that possibility practical. These experimental patches use …

Your Insulin Pump Is Learning Your Habits: How AI Is Quietly Changing Diabetes Care

Person using adaptive insulin pump hardware connected to a continuous glucose monitor and smartphone for automated diabetes management.

Artificial intelligence is entering diabetes care in a surprisingly quiet way. Rather than appearing as a chatbot or separate decision-support tool, increasingly sophisticated algorithms are being built into automated insulin delivery systems. Adaptive insulin pump hardware can work with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, recent insulin delivery, and changing glucose …

Could “Smart” Insulin End Hypoglycemia? The Race Toward Glucose-Responsive Therapy

Illustration of glucose-responsive insulin technology showing a smart insulin vial, syringe, blood glucose monitor, and molecular structures representing glucose-activated insulin therapy.

For more than a century, insulin has saved millions of lives. Yet despite remarkable advances in diabetes technology, one major challenge remains: preventing hypoglycemia while maintaining excellent glucose control. That is why researchers are developing glucose-responsive insulin, often called “smart” insulin. Instead of delivering a fixed amount of insulin regardless …
