Once Weekly Basal Insulin

CEimpact Podcast

Insulin icodec is the first class of long-acting insulin to be administered only once a week. Join host, Jen Moulton, as she discusses the safety and efficacy of insulin icodec with guest, Geoff Wall.
The GameChanger
Insulin icodec is the first of the ultra long-acting insulins with once weekly dosing. Multiple clinical studies have suggested these pharmacokinetics work. A new meta-analysis suggests that insulin icodec is more effective than other basal insulins and at least as safe concerning hypoglycemia.
