The prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM) has each increased drastically according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Growth of severe insulinresistant DM is predicted. U-500 insulin is highly concentrated and can replace less concentrated formulations in patients that need high insulin dosages. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of U-500 and U-100 insulin regimens in veterans with obesity and insulin resistance.
