Effective Xultophy administration to stable blood glucose profile by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) need adequate diet, exercise and pharmacotherapy. Authors have continued diabetic practice and research on low carbohydrate diet (LCD), calorie restriction (CR), continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and so on. The case is 50-year-old female patient with T2DM for 10 years. She has received insulin treatment with recent HbA1c 7.4 – 8.7%, then her glucose profile was studied on CGM by FreeStyle Libre. Treatment was changed from Glargine 15 units (until day 5) to Zultophy10-12 doses (after day 6), then her glucose variability showed remarkably improved. The average blood glucose on day 3, 5, 6, 8,10,13 was 174, 164, 125, 111, 101, 98 mg/dL, respectively. FreeStyle Libre showed estimated HbA1c as 6.2% and 44 mmol/mol.
