Basaglar

Give by SC inj once daily at same time each day into abdominal area, thigh, or deltoids; rotate inj sites. No pronounced peak, duration over 24hrs. <6yrs: not established. ≥6yrs: individualize; monitor and adjust as needed. Type 1 diabetes: initially ⅓ of total daily insulin dose. Give remainder of the total dose as short- or rapid-acting, premeal insulin. Type 2 diabetes: initially 0.2 Units/kg or up to 10 Units once daily. May need to adjust amount, timing of short- or rapid-acting insulins and doses of any antidiabetics. Switching from another insulin glargine 100 Units/mL product: initial Basaglar dose should be the same as previous insulin glargine 100 Units/mL dose. Switching from once-daily insulin glargine 300 Units/mL: initially 80% of the previous insulin glargine 300 Units/mL dose. Switching from an intermediate- or long-acting insulin regimen (other than insulin glargine 100 Units/mL): may need to change basal insulin dose; and adjust the amount, timing of the short-acting insulins and doses of any antidiabetics. Switching from twice-daily NPH: initially 80% of the previous total NPH dose.
