Why it matters: NICE recommend that for patients with type 2 diabetes requiring insulin, 'neutral protamine Hagedorn' (NPH) insulin is the preferred starting therapy with insulin, and that the more expensive long-acting insulin analogues (detemir and insulin glargine) can be considered as an alternative in certain circumstances.
Description: Number of prescription items for long-acting human analogue insulins as a percentage of prescription items for all long-acting and intermediate acting insulins (excluding biphasic insulins).
