In this review:
The aim of this review is to encourage primary care practitioners to actively review patients on basal insulin, and add a mealtime insulin if required in order that the risk of diabetes-related complications is reduced. In particular, the reasons for the reluctance to initiate mealtime insulin are examined, including patients’ concerns regarding hypoglycaemia. The intended audience for this review is primary healthcare professionals, including general practitioners, practice nurses and diabetes nurse educators.
