Learning objectives

After completing this activity, readers should be able to:

  • Understand the clinical scenarios where it would be important to initiate basal insulin therapy
  • Address situations where hypoglycaemia may pose additional risks, e.g. in elderly patients, patients with high-risk jobs and co-morbidities
  • Pro-actively identify and manage gestational diabetes mellitus
  • Describe the situations in which the initiation of insulin glargine U300 will help to achieve better glucose control while reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia
  • Use a patient-centred approach in managing diabetes to optimise adherence to diabetes management.
