Rapid-acting insulins can be a great addition to your diabetes regimen to increase your time in range, but how do you incorporate them? Dr. E and Dr. P tackled everything you need to know about rapid-acting insulins, including:

-- how they can be used as a complement to regular insulin
-- what options are available
-- how they work best for type 1s and type 2s

We also took a deep dive into dosing, timing and titration for each of the rapid-acting insulins we covered.

This lecture was from our "Back to School" virtual diabetes conference on 8/7/21.

Sing-along class…A is for lowered A1c, B is for good blood pressure control, C is for cholesterol checks and D is for drugs that lower your glucose and A1c values, plus protect your heart, kidneys, eyes and toes! Learn all there is to know about mastering these health markers so that you can live your longest, healthiest and fullest life!

Speaker: Steven V. Edelman, MD, living well with Type 1

This lecture was from our virtual "Back to School" conference on 8/7/21.

This is one class you don’t want to fail at. Skipping class and cheating may seem cool, but when it comes to diabetes management, the quality of your life depends on your attendance. In this case it’s okay to be a nerd; your eyes, kidneys, heart, friends and family will all thank you for your diligence in learning all you can on this topic. Professor Pettus will be handing out A’s and hopefully lower A1c (if all class work is applied) to all who attend.

Speaker: Jeremy Pettus, MD
Endocrinologist, Director of Type 1 Track and Professional Medical Education at TCOYD; Associate Professor of Medicine, UCSD School of Medicine, Living Well with T1D

Dude…TCOYD is based out of California where it’s okay to inhale. Learn about inhaled, injectable, rapid-acting, and basal insulins. Toujeo, Tresiba, Afrezza, Fiasp, and Lyumiev may be hard to pronounce, but learn why these mouthfuls might be right for you. (Jeremy Pettus, MD) - TCOYD Virtual Diabetes Conference and Health Fair 2020

Did you know there are many medications you can use in addition to insulin to help us T1Ds get better control? Some medicines even help increase our time in range while lowering our insulin requirements and also help with weight loss. By no means are we insinuating that any of you have to lose a few pounds, but it’s nice to know that some drugs can make us skinnier and not the other way around. (Steven V. Edelman, MD) - TCOYD Virtual Diabetes Conference & Health Fair, 2-27-21

If having a pump stuck to your body ain’t your thing, or if you want to maintain a certain type of control over your insulin delivery and timing, learn how you can thrive on MDI from a TD1 endocrinologist who has been on MDI for years. (Irl Hirsch, MD) - TCOYD Virtual Diabetes Conference and Health Fair 2020

Inhaled insulin Afrezza has been around for years, but a lot of people with diabetes (and even some providers) still have questions about how to use it. In a nutshell, rapid-acting insulins like Humalog or Novalog can take 30 minutes to start working, but Afrezza kicks in almost immediately and is out of your system in an hour and a half. Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus answer the most common questions about Afrezza, and offer important tips on how and when to use it.

Most people aren’t thrilled with the idea of taking prescription medications, but there are certain complications that can develop from uncontrolled diabetes that don’t have any warning signs or symptoms, so it’s really important to keep them under control early on. Dr. Edelman and Dr. Polonsky explain how you can protect yourself and what to ask your doctor.

Afrezza is a rapid-acting inhaled insulin indicated to improve glycemic control in adults with diabetes. MannKind, makers of Afrezza, just announced a direct purchase program to help those with diabetes obtain this medication for as little as $4 a day. Visit www.insulinsavings.com or www.afrezzasavingscard.com for more info.

If your blood sugars tend to go high every time you eat, consider adjusting the time you take your mealtime insulin to 20-30 minutes before you eat. Sometimes "rapid-acting" insulin still takes that amount of time to be effective.
