Abstract	Background Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent chronic metabolic disorders worldwide and constitutes a major public health challenge. The disease is characterized by insulin resistance and progressive pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, resulting in persistent hyperglycemia. Effective glycemic control is essential to prevent microvascular and macrovascular complications. Although oral antidiabetic drugs are the first-line treatment in many patients, insulin therapy becomes necessary when adequate glycemic control cannot be achieved through oral medications alone. The selection of insulin regimens depends on several factors including patient characteristics, duration of disease, glycemic status, and associated comorbidities. Evaluation of insulin prescribing patterns helps assess the rationality of treatment practices and adherence to standard therapeutic guidelines. Aim To evaluate the insulin prescribing pattern among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients attending RK Andimalla Specialty Hospital and Ramarao Super Speciality Hospital. Objectives • To identify the most commonly prescribed insulin preparations. • To assess insulin monotherapy and combination therapy patterns. • To evaluate demographic and clinical characteristics of patients receiving insulin therapy. • To analyze prescribing practices using WHO prescribing indicators. Methodology A prospective observational study was conducted among 100 patients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and receiving insulin therapy. Data were collected from case records, prescriptions, and laboratory reports. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Conclusion The study provides valuable information regarding insulin utilization trends and helps promote rational prescribing practices in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
