New Insights in Diabetes Care: Exploring Once-Weekly Insulin Therapy
Recent advances in diabetes treatment are reshaping how we manage blood sugar—and that includes groundbreaking developments in insulin therapy. A new Phase 3 trial compared the safety and efficacy of a once-weekly insulin (efsitora alfa) to the standard daily insulin degludec in adults with type 2 diabetes. While the full results are pending, this approach has the potential to streamline treatment and improve patients’ quality of life.
Why It Matters
Less Frequent Injections: Switching from daily to weekly injections could significantly reduce treatment burden and improve adherence.
Comparable Effectiveness: Early research indicates that once-weekly insulin may offer blood sugar control similar to daily options—without compromising safety.
Enhanced Patient Experience: Simplifying routines can lead to better engagement with care, fewer missed doses, and greater overall satisfaction.
