Dynamic Interactive Educational Diabetes Simulations Using the World Wide Web: An Experience of More Than 15 Years with AIDA Online

Figure 9

(a) Gives a baseline simulation for case scenario 0026 in the AIDA online database, showing a premixed (biphasic) insulin injection regimen with Mixtard 30/70 being injected twice a day. Mixtard 30/70 is a premixed mixture of 30% short-acting insulin and 70% intermediate-acting insulin. (b) Demonstrates the effect of switching the insulin type from Mixtard 30/70 shown in (a) to Humulin 50/50 (50% short-acting and 50% intermediate-acting insulin) with proportionally more short-acting insulin. The current simulation run is shown as the vertical red lines, with the previous run shown for comparison as the solid blue lines. (c) Demonstrates the effect of switching the insulin type from Humulin 50/50 shown in (b) to PenMix 10/90 (10% short-acting and 90% intermediate-acting insulin) with proportionally more intermediate-acting insulin. The current simulation run is shown as the vertical red lines, with the previous run shown for comparison as the solid blue lines.
