WebMD, July 29, 2008 Dr. Randall J. Urban, director of UTMB's Stark Diabetes Center, is quoted in this article about managing diabetes. Referring to new long-acting insulin, he said, "This has been a fantastic advance for diabetes patients. So if you're currently not using a long acting insulin you should speak to your doctor about whether it's right for you. It can make managing diabetes in the workplace much, much easier."
