<p>Dosage of Insulin Aspart is individual and determined by the physician in accordance with the needs of the patient. In patients with type 2 diabetes, Insulin Aspart can be given in mono therapy or in combination with oral antidiabetic drugs when the blood glucose is inadequately controlled with those oral antidiabetic drugs alone. For patients with type 2 diabetes, the recommended starting dose of Insulin Aspart is 6 IU at breakfast and 6 IU at dinner (evening meal). Insulin Aspart can also be initiated once daily with 12 IU at dinner (evening meal). When using Insulin Aspart once daily, it is generally recommended to move to twice-daily when reaching 30 units by splitting the dose into equal breakfast and dinner doses. If twice daily dosing with Insulin Aspart results in recurrent daytime hypoglycaemic episodes, the morning dose can be split into morning and lunchtime doses (thrice daily dosing).<br />
<br />
The dose should not be increased if hypoglycemia occurred within three days. Dose adjustments can be made once a week until target HbA1c is reached. In patients with type 1 diabetes the individual insulin requirement is usually between 0.5 and 1.0 IU/kg/day. Insulin Aspart may fully or partially meet this requirement. When transferring a patient from biphasic human insulin to Insulin Aspart, start with the same dose and regimen. Then titrate according to individual needs (according to the titration guidelines in table above). Insulin Aspart can be used in elderly patients; however there is limited experience with the use of Insulin Aspart in combination with OADs in patients older than 75 years.</p>
