Modified · Market Opportunity: Management of Diabetes

•Type 2 diabetes, the more common form, is characterized by the body’s inability to either properly utilize insulin or produce enough insulin. Historically, type 2 diabetes has occurred in later adulthood, but its incidence is increasing among the younger populationchildren and young adults, due primarily to increasing obesity. Initially, many people with type 2 diabetes attempt to manage their diabetes with improvements in diet, exercise, and/or medications, both oral and injectable, including SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 drugs. As their diabetes advances, some individuals progress to multiple drug therapies, which often include insulin therapy. People with type 2 diabetes who take insulin either require intensive insulin therapy (typically multiple injections of insulin per day) or basal (long-acting) insulin (typically a single injection daily or weekly). We estimate that approximately 6 million people have insulin-intensiveinsulin-requiring type 2 diabetes in the countries we currently serve and another 3 million people with type 2 diabetes in the United States require only long-actingbasal insulin.
