This article describes a number-based system for the classification of insulin
regimes. It utilizes a patient-centered variable (number of injections per day)
and pharmacokinetic/dynamic characteristics to craft a taxonomic system that is
able to incorporate all available insulin preparations and coformulations. This
framework of systematics is robust enough to include various molecules that have
been recently developed. It serves to enhance understanding of the subject, and
facilitates the practical or clinical usage of theoretical knowledge. We propose
that number-based insulin taxonomic models should be used in clinical guidelines
and recommendations rather than restricting ourselves to pharmaceutical-based
classifications. PubMed articles including both review articles and clinical
trials published since the year 1990 were searched, to gather evidence and
information on the various types of insulins available, and how they can be used,
based on the number or frequency of injections prescribed per day.
