Effective insulin therapy begins with an understanding of the clinically effective time actions of the insulin preparations available today. Rapid and long acting insulin analogues have been a great advance in the management of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes by improving glucose control and flexibility in schedules while minimizing hypoglycemia. Insulin is a key therapy often under‐utilized in type 2 diabetes. The barriers to initiating insulin in type 2 diabetes must be understood and overcome. A systematic approach to insulin therapy, which emphasizes the importance of patient self‐management and the use of team care, enhances the prospect of achieving optimal glucose control while maintaining a flexible and high‐quality lifestyle for each individual with diabetes.
