Patient's question:
The father of a colleague is 52 years old this year. He recently went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with diabetes. The doctor advised him to be active in saving insulin. Is it suitable for type 1 diabetic patients?Doctor's answer:
Indications for new-onset diabetes: Control of blood glucose in adult patients with type 2 diabetes; patients with poor glycemic control despite receiving a split dose of metformin or sulfonylurea, who are only familiar with the tolerated dose of metformin or sulfonylurea.Use of NovoRapid in the elderly: Based on pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers and pharmacokinetic data analysis in patients (18-80 years old), age does not have a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of liraglutide. Therefore, no dose adjustment is required based on age. Limited experience in treating patients over 75 years old.
