In Brief
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has been increasing rapidly and with it has been resultant morbidity and mortality. Strict glycemic control reduces the progression of diabetic microvascular disease; however, most patients treated with sulfonylureas require additional insulin therapy. This article addresses common clinician concerns about prescribing insulin early in type 2 diabetes. It presents strategies for incorporating basal insulin therapy with glargine (Lantus) into a regimen that promotes compliance.
