MARKET OUTLOOK
Current treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D) consists only of exogenous insulins, but DRG anticipates that the number of treatment options will grow over the next ten years. Intensive insulin regimens have been shown to delay the progression of complications associated with untreated or poorly treated T1D. However, subtleties in dosage, choice of branded insulin, choice of regimen, and order in which regimens are attempted do exist between patient subpopulations and between physician types. In addition, the launch of biosimilar insulins is having a profound effect on the T1D therapy market, and we are witnessing an intricate interplay of physician and payer attitudes toward this new treatment option.
