Popis: We appreciate the relevant comments raised by Wu et al. (1) regarding the challenges faced by clinicians in safely achieving postprandial, and overall, glycemic control for patients with diabetes in the face of individual needs and physiological variation (including varying rates of gastric emptying/gastroparesis). Increasing awareness and understanding of factors affecting the complex physiology of postprandial glucose regulation, together with an understanding of the clinical pharmacological profile, are key in guiding appropriate dosing and timing of any mealtime insulin therapy. In the onset 1 and 2 trials, both mealtime (0–2 min before the meal) and postmeal dosing (20 min after the start of a meal investigated in onset 1) of fast-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) demonstrated noninferior overall glycemic control compared with mealtime conventional insulin aspart. Importantly, no statistically significant differences in the overall rates of hypoglycemia were found in these trials …
