The Basal/Bolus Insulin Concept • Basal insulin – Suppresses glucose production between meals and overnight – Nearly constant levels – ~50% of daily needs • Bolus insulin (mealtime or prandial) – Limits hyperglycemia after meals – Immediate rise and sharp peak at 1 hr – ~10% to 20% of daily requirement at each meal • Ideally, for insulin replacement therapy, each component should come from a different insulin with specific profile Rosenstock J. Clin Cornerstone. 2001; 4: 50

Disrupted Insulin and Glucagon Regulation: Central Role in Diabetes Pathophysiology • Hyperglucagonemia is a characteristic of T 1 DM and T 2 DM • Data suggest a central role for glucagon dysregulation in diabetes pathophysiology – Without paracrine intraislet insulin signals from juxtaposed β cells (image), α cells hypersecrete glucagon (diagram) – Hyperglucagonemia can account for abnormalities associated with lack of insulin (eg, increased ketogenesis) α cells β cells Glucose, etc β cell No Insulin Cryer P.

Addressing the alpha cell in type 1 Diabetes • Glucagon dysregulation is a key contributor to increased risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in T 1 DM and T 2 DM • Increased risk of hypoglycemia can be mitigated by educating patients regarding signs, symptoms, and treatment of hypoglycemia and can be treated with exogenous glucagon • Approaches to correct hyperglucagonemia may improve glycemic control in patients with T 1 DM • At present only pramlintide is approved to treat the glucagon defect in Type 1 Diabetes
