      continuation in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

AB  - The prevalence of diabetes continues to increase despite advances in detection 
      and therapy. Majority of the patients fail to achieve desired glycaemic targets 
      even with maximal tolerated doses of oral anti-hyperglycaemic drugs, 
      necessitating insulin therapy. Although, much attention has been given to early 
      insulin initiation, yet substantial proportion of patients do not achieve 
      glycaemic targets as they fail to initiate or intensify insulin therapy at the 
      appropriate time. The choice of an insulin regimen and timely initiation and 
      intensification of insulin therapy are key factors in achieving optimal glycaemic 
      control. This current consensus guideline developed by a panel of experts aims to 
      provide specific recommendations based on existing guidelines and published data 
      on initiation and intensification of insulin therapy in management of type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using basal, premixed and basal-bolus insulin regimens 
      in Indian clinical practice. The panel recognized the need to upgrade the 
      existing guidelines for management of T2DM and endorsed recommendations that are 
      in line with Indian insulin guidelines.
