Novo Nordisk’s Ryzodeg Does The Job With Fewer Injections

Data presented today at the 50th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) show that Ryzodeg (insulin degludec/insulin aspart) administered twice daily, provides successful glycaemic control with fewer injections than a basal-bolus regimen for type 2 diabetes patients. Ryzodeg is a combination of two distinct insulin analogues , insulin degludec (Tresiba) and insulin aspart (Novolog) in the ratio of 70% and 30%, making it the first combination of a basal insulin with an ultra-long duration of action and a well-established mealtime insulin in one pen for people with type 2 diabetes.
