AB IN BRIEFPrimary care providers take care of the majority of patients with diabetes in the United States. The introduction of new insulin analogs over the past few years should help primary practitioners and their patients with diabetes achieve physiological insulin replacement and near-normal glucose levels. This article reviews currently available insulins and replacement of insulin in a physiological manner for patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and provides examples of patients for whom insulin dosages changed over time.
