New Option for Diabetes Treatment: Once-Weekly Insulin Injection Reduces Injection Burden in Thailand
Published
Novo Nordisk has introduced a new option for diabetes treatment in Thailand: once-weekly insulin icodec injection. This medication is designed to make insulin therapy more convenient for patients.
Normally, patients using insulin injected once daily need to inject about 365 times in one year. However, this new insulin icodec reduces the number of injections to just once a week, which means approximately 52 injections per year. This reduction in injection frequency may help remove barriers that prevent some patients from starting or continuing insulin therapy.
However, patients should consult a doctor or pharmacist before starting the medication to learn the appropriate dosage and the correct way to use it. Diabetes treatment also requires diet control, regular exercise, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels.
