Insulin Aspart Clinical Effectiveness and Safety

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties

• Clinically significant hypoglycemia can occur with insulin therapy, though newer insulin formulations may have lower rates of severe hypoglycemia 1

Practical Considerations for Hospitalized Patients

• For hospitalized patients, insulin aspart can be used as part of a basal-bolus regimen, which has been shown to provide better glycemic control compared to sliding scale insulin alone 2

Monitoring and Target Glucose Range

• For hospitalized patients, a target glucose range of 140-180 mg/dL is generally recommended 3
