Optimizing DM management with early insulinization and novel treatments

14 Oct 2025 by

The global diabetes mellitus (DM) epidemic poses significant health challenges in Asia and the rest of the world. At a symposium, Professor Lawrence Leiter of the University of Toronto, Canada, discussed the critical role of early insulinization to reduce long-term complications. He also shared how long-acting insulin analogue injections, such as insulin degludec (IDeg) and its combination with insulin aspart (IDegAsp), which provide longer time in target glucose range with lower hypoglycaemic risks, may help patients achieve long-term treatment goals.
