Basaglar prescription FAQs

  • How does Basaglar work?

    Basaglar works by mimicking the function of naturally produced insulin in the body. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreas to promote glucose metabolism. In a healthy body, insulin is released by the pancreas following a meal to increase the absorption of glucose from your food, so it can be used by your organs and tissues. In diabetics, insulin is not successfully completing this task, leading to high blood sugar levels which can pose a risk to your health.

    Basaglar works by providing background levels of insulin in low concentration to keep blood sugar levels stable in between meals and overnight. Its goal is to supplement your body with the insulin you need.

  • What is a typical dosage of Basaglar?

    Basaglar should be taken at the same time each day and works over 24 hours to reduce your blood sugar levels.

    For type 2 diabetes, the recommended starting dose for Basaglar is 0.2 units/kg once daily or up to 10 units once daily.

    For type 1 diabetes, the recommended starting dose for Basaglar is ~1/3 of the total daily insulin requirements and should be used simultaneously with short-acting insulin.

    As with every prescription drug, take Basaglar exactly as directed by your doctor.
