I am the mother of 6-year-old Ania, who has been suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes for 1.5 years. I would like to know if long-acting insulins are really very effective compared to other insulins? Are they given once a day, do they produce even better results related to low blood glucose and HbA1c levels, and do they reduce the risk of complications related to diabetes?
Analogue long-acting insulins are indeed very good and "convenient" insulins which, by improving sugar control, and thus improving the control of diabetes, reduce its chronic complications. They most often require the simultaneous administration of short-acting, me altime insulins, but in people with low needs, who eat little, they may be sufficient. They also work well in the so-called diabetes remission. They are currently "Mercedes" among insulins.
