In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,&nbsp;Insulin Degludec can be administered alone or in any combination with oral anti-diabetic medicinal products, GLP-1 receptor agonists and bolus insulin. In type 1 diabetes mellitus, Insulin Degludec must be combined with short-/rapid-acting insulin to cover mealtime insulin requirements. On occasions when administration at the same time of the day is not possible, Insulin Degludec allows for flexibility in the timing of insulin administration. A minimum of 8 hours between injections should always be ensured. Patients who forget a dose, are advised to take it upon discovery and then resume their usual once-daily dosing schedule.</p>
