Better glycemic control reduces complications associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) by at least 50 percent; unfortunately, a large percentage of patients with this disease continue to exhibit poor glycemic control and subsequent increases in diabetes-related health consequences. This podcast will examine the significance of therapeutic inertia, which is the failure to initiate or intensify treatment in a timely manner using evidence-based clinical guidelines. It will also discuss different types of basal insulin, and how each can be implemented into T2D regimens.
