Results suggest that insulin bolus delivery with fast delivery speed may result in more rapid insulin absorption and, thus, may provide a better control of meal-related glucose excursions than that obtained with bolus delivery using slow delivery speeds. Our findings may have important implications for the future design of the bolus delivery unit of insulin pumps (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)

A Large Difference in Dose Timing of Basal Insulin Introduces Risk of Hypoglycemia and Overweight: A Cross-Sectional Study
Fixed dose timing should be employed for basal insulin, as a larger difference in dose timing worsens diabetes-related factors. Insulin degludec improved glycemic control and lowered the hypoglycemia rate in persons with more irregular dose timing (Diabetes Therapy)
Bolus Estimation—Rethinking the Effect of Meal Fat Content
In addition to considering the putative delay in gastric emptying associated with HF meals, we suggest that clinicians reviewing patient records consider that the fat content of these meals may alter SI (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
