Basal insulin

Basal insulin is a type of insulin used to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day and night, especially for people with diabetes. It provides a steady, low level of insulin to help manage glucose in the bloodstream when you're not eating, such as between meals and during sleep. This long-acting insulin helps prevent high blood sugar levels and supports overall metabolic balance. It's essential for those with type 1 diabetes and often for those with type 2 diabetes, ensuring that the body has enough insulin to function properly at all times.
