Mechanism of action
LY2963016 is a biosynthetic insulin glargine designed to provide steady, long-acting glycemic control in diabetes patients. It mimics endogenous insulin by activating insulin receptors on muscle and adipose tissue, facilitating glucose uptake and suppressing hepatic glucose production. The formulation is engineered for extended duration of action to reduce dosing frequency.
