• Describe the underlying causes of clinical inertia and psychological insulin resistance as it relates to initiation and/or intensification of insulin and strategies to mitigate these effectors
• Compare and contrast current guideline recommendations for the initiation and intensification of insulin therapy with a focus on basal insulins
• Apply strategies to overcome limitations of traditional basal insulins, including optimal dosing, timing and titration of therapy as well as utilization of newly approved long-acting insulin agents
