RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Practical Guidance on Effective Basal Insulin Titration for Primary Care Providers JF Clinical Diabetes JO diaclin FD American Diabetes Association SP 368 OP 376 DO 10.2337/cd18-0091 VO 37 IS 4 A1 Kuritzky, Louis A1 Reid, Timothy S.

YR 2019 UL http://clinical.diabetesjournals.org/content/37/4/368.abstract AB IN BRIEF Basal insulin therapy is well established for glycemic control in patients with diabetes but often is not optimally implemented, leading to poor clinical outcomes and adherence. Primary care providers can and should work together with other members of the diabetes care team to allow for effective titration of basal insulin that involves patients and their caregivers. Adequate guidance and monitoring during the titration process can minimize some of the adverse effects caused by basal insulin administration, while improving glycemic control in a timely manner.
