ABSTRACT: Insulin Glargine is a novel recombinant analogue of human insulin with a shift in the isoelectric point producing a retarded absorption rate and an increased duration of action that closely mimies normal basal insulin secretion. Insulin treatment can improve and maintain glycaemic control, preventing long term complications in type 2 diabetes.
