In episode number 5 of the Diabetes Update 2021 podcast series, we are honored to welcome back Dr. Alice Cheng, endocrinologist from University of Toronto, who will be speaking about new basal insulins and hypoglycemia. As basal insulins have evolved over time, Dr. Cheng makes us consider, how do they compare? The next generation of basal insulin analogs brings significant improvements upon the previous generations. Dr. Cheng concludes by encouraging healthcare professionals to consider which of their patients are best suited for this treatment method, and how to best guide patients.
