How do basal and bolus insulins differ in their mechanisms of action, duration of activity and role in managing blood glucose levels for diabetes patients?
Basal insulin maintains steady glucose levels throughout the day, acting continually up to 24 hours. Bolus insulin addresses glucose spikes during meals and is shorter-acting.
