Thomas Blevins, MD, an Endocrinologist from Texas Diabetes and Endocrinology in Austin, TX, joins The Huddle to talk about interchangeable biosimilar insulin. We discuss what interchangeability means and the evidence supporting it. You’ll also hear about the options interchangeable biosimilar insulin presents for healthcare systems and people with diabetes.
