Long-acting insulin is safer and more effective than intermediate-acting insulin for patients with type 1 diabetes, according to research.
Scientists looked at once-daily and twice-daily doses of both long- and intermediate-acting insulin, ranking their efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness.
"In patients with type 1 diabetes, we found that long-acting insulin is superior to intermediate-acting insulin when it came to controlling blood sugar, preventing weight gain and treating severe hypoglycaemia," said Dr Andrea Tricco, the lead author of the paper and a scientist in the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of St Michael's Hospital, Toronto.

Do you 'ingest' insulin? Thought that meant consuming i.e. eating or drinking. If so, they're doing it wrong!
