Current trends in insulin therapy
Aktuální trendy v inzulinové léčbě
V lednu 2025 uplynulo 103 let od okamžiku, kdy injekce inzulinu zachránila život prvnímu pacientovi s diabetem mellitem 1. typu. Cílem článku je seznámit čtenáře s aktuální inzulinoterapií, která je nezbytnou léčebnou modalitou u pacientů s diabetem 1. typu, ale i u mnoha pacientů s ostatními typy diabetu mellitu. Současná léčba pacientů s diabetem 1. typu spočívá v používání inzulinových analog 2. generace, a to buď rychlých v inzulinových pumpách, které dnes mají již i funkci tzv. hybridní uzavřené smyčky, nebo pacienti aplikují rychlý analog v kombinaci s bazálním analogem inzulinovými pery. Standardem se stala úprava dávek inzulinu podle dat z glukózových senzorů. I pacienti s diabetem 2. typu užívají moderní inzulinoterapii. Zvlášť oni mohou profitovat z léčiv, kde je kombinován bazální inzulinový analog s GLP-1 receptorovým agonistou. Do klinické praxe se již navíc blíží bazální inzulinová analoga 3. generace s aplikací jen jednou týdně. To může významně pomoci zjednodušit logistiku inzulinoterapie, a tím i zlepšit adherenci alespoň určitých skupin pacientů k léčbě.
Klíčová slova:

In January 2025, 103 years have passed since the injection of insulin saved the life of the first patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the article is to familiarize readers with current insulin therapy, which is an essential treatment modality for patients with type 1 diabetes, but also for many patients with other types of diabetes mellitus. The current treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes consists of using 2nd generation insulin analogues, either rapid in insulin pumps, which now also have the so-called hybrid closed-loop function, or patients apply a rapid analogue in combination with a basal analogue by insulin pens. Adjusting insulin doses according to data from glucose sensors has become a common praxis. Patients with type 2 diabetes also use modern insulin therapy. They can especially benefit from formulas that combine a basal insulin analogue with a GLP-1 receptor agonist. In addition, 3rd generation basal insulin analogues with application only once a week are approaching clinical practice. This can significantly help simplify the logistics of insulin therapy and thus improve adherence to treatment for at least certain groups of patients.
Keywords:
