đź’‰ Once-Weekly Insulin is Here! Watch as dr ravi shah, endocrinologist explains
Insulin Icodec is the world’s first once-weekly basal insulin, offering a new option for people with diabetes who require long-acting insulin.
âś… Only one basal insulin injection every week
âś… Can improve convenience and treatment adherence
âś… Especially beneficial for selected patients with Type 2 Diabetes
✅ Flexible timing—same day every week
However, it is not suitable for everyone.
âť— It replaces only basal insulin, not mealtime insulin.
âť— It is generally costlier than daily basal insulin.
âť— The weekly dose is usually based on 7 times your daily basal insulin dose, but the correct starting dose and adjustments should always be decided by your endocrinologist.
âť— In Type 1 Diabetes, it requires extra caution due to a higher risk of hypoglycemia.
Never switch your insulin on your own. Every patient is different, and choosing the right insulin depends on your diabetes type, blood sugar control, lifestyle, and overall health.
