The IDF School of Diabetes offers a complimentary online course about Biosimilar Insulins, which is co-authored by Profil's Co-Founder and Lead Scientist Dr. Tim Heise. You can also find Profil's very own free on-demand online seminar about Biosimilar Insulins given by Dr. Tim Heise here.
Insulin therapy can be expensive, particularly for those who need to use it on a long-term basis. Thus, Biosimilar insulins are an emerging option that may help to reduce the cost of insulin therapy, making it more accessible to people with diabetes.
Biosimilar insulins are a type of insulin that is designed to be similar to an existing insulin product. They are not identical to the original insulin, but they have been shown to be similar enough in terms of safety and efficacy to be considered interchangeable with the reference product.
