Insulin Basics Diabetics need insulin therapy because they can't make their own. Insulin therapy tries to mimic natural insulin secretion — what happens automatically in non-diabetics. The ultimate goal of insulin therapy is to mimic normal insulin levels. Unfortunately, current insulin replacement therapy can only approximate normal insulin levels. Insulin therapy for type 2 diabetes ranges from one injection a day to multiple injections and using an insulin pump (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion – CSII).

- Twice-daily administration of NPH insulin and regular insulin usually works adequately while endogenous insulin is still being produced. Two thirds of the total daily insulin dose may be given 20 to 30 minutes before breakfast, and one third of the dose may be given 20 to 30 minutes before the evening meal. As an estimate, NPH insulin and regular insulin can be given in a 2:1 ratio for the breakfast dose and a 1:1 ratio for the evening-meal dose.

The individual would most typically stay on their oral hypoglycemic agents (pills). This will lower the fasting sugar, and improve the action of the oral agents at the same time.
