Figure Initiation of basal insulin regimens and self-titration algorithm. Insulin regimens should be designed taking lifestyle and meal schedule into account. The algorithm can only provide basic guidelines for initiation and adjustment of insulin. A1c = glycated hemoglobin; FPG = fasting plasma glucose.
