The goal of insulin therapy is to mimic _____ and/or _____ insulin production
Fill in the blank(s) with correct word
prandial, basal: Prandial insulin is released into the blood sporadically in two phases in response to elevated blood glucose after a meal. In phase 1 insulin is released within seconds of eating and lasts for about 10 minutes. Phase 2 insulin release occurs within 15 minutes of phase 1, lasts for about 2 hours, and is responsible for lowering the postprandial rise in blood glucose. Basal insulin is continuously released during the day at low levels in response to continuous liver glucose output.
