Abstract:

The analogue insulins were developed to more clearly mimic the basal and prandial components of insulin secretion for subjects with diabetes mellitus. Analogues are now widely used and have largely taken over from the conventional human recombinant insulins. It is important that these insulins are not only as effective as their predecessors, but are also safe and well-tolerated. In this manuscript, the authors review the adverse effects reported with analogue insulins and make a comparison with standard insulin treatments.
