A large proportion of T2DM patients treated with insulin fail in achieving the glycemic target of HbA1c level < 7%, irrespective of treatment regimen; however, basal insulin only is associated with lower therapeutic unsuccess. Adherence to antidiabetes medications is also suboptimal in these patients and should be addressed to improve long-term outcomes of reducing and preventing microvascular and macrovascular complications.
