| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To review the best evidence-based literature on the insulin analogue, lispro insulin, and to provide guidelines for its use. QUALITY OF EVIDENCE: Using the MeSH terms, lispro and insulin analogues, we searched PubMed, Current Contents, MEDLINE, and EMBASE from January 1986 to July 1998 and selected 42 articles out of 97 for high quality and relevance to family medicine. Twenty-eight were randomized controlled trials, but only two studies were blinded because lispro and regular insulin have different optimal times of administration. MAIN MESSAGE: The new insulin analogue, lispro, produces a much more rapid, higher, and shorter-lasting peak level of insulin than regular human insulin, thus mimicking physiologic secretion of insulin more closely. This allows insulin administration just before or just after meals and means patients can manage with fewer snacks. Lispro controls postprandial blood glucose levels better and does not cause hypoglycemia. Although most older studies showed no change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, a few recent studies involving refinements, such as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or basal insulin to reduce preprandial glucose levels, have found small but significant improvements. Insulin lispro has also been used successfully in cases of insulin resistance and insulin allergy. CONCLUSIONS: Lispro is a useful addition for motivated diabetic patients who like to achieve better control of HbA1c without increased hypoglycemia and to match mealtime insulin injections with diet, exercise, and various lifestyles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
