Basal-bolus insulin regimen

A basal-bolus insulin regimen is a way to manage diabetes by mimicking the body's natural insulin production. It involves taking a long-acting insulin (basal) to provide a steady background level throughout the day and night. Additionally, quick-acting insulin (bolus) is taken at mealtimes to handle the rise in blood sugar from eating. This approach offers flexible and precise control of blood sugar levels, matching insulin delivery closely with the body's needs and food intake, helping maintain healthier glucose levels and reducing complications.
