How to Optimize Basal Insulin for Better Glucose Stability - ODT
Episode 139
Monday, 29 December, 2025
Co-host Gary Scheiner, CDCES, and I break down basal insulin and why it is the foundation of insulin therapy. We explain what basal insulin does, how it controls liver glucose between meals and overnight, and why incorrect settings can cause constant highs and lows even with advanced diabetes tech. We also cover common basal insulin mistakes, how pumps and automated insulin delivery systems handle basal differently, and answer listener questions about what your data can tell you when basal is off.
