Insulin Glargine vs 70/30 Premixed Insulin in OHA Failures N=371 insulin-naïve patients Insulin Glargine + OADs vs twicedaily human NPH insulin (70/30) Follow-up: 24 weeks 9 1. 3% 1. 7% Hb.

Stepwise Intensification: 1 -2 -3 Study Design N=115 Group 1: GLAR + OADs + 1 GLU A 1 C >7. 0% Poorly controlled on OADs (N=785) N=113 Group 2: GLAR + OADs + 2 GLU (n=343) Switched to GLAR for 14 weeks N=115 Group 3: GLAR + OADs + 3 GLU Randomization and 24 week F/U • Insulin glulisine was administered 0 -15 minutes before greatest glycemic index meal • Initial glulisine dose was 1/10 th of the glargine does at randomization • Weekly titration to target PPG 70 -109 mg/d. L and HS level 70 -129 mg/d. L OADs were continued. GLAR = insulin glargine; GLU = insulin glulisine; OADs=oral antidiabetic agents. Davidson MB et al. Endocr Pract. February 16, 2011.
A 1 C Change From Baseline to Week 24 Following 14 -week run-in with insulin glargine Mean A 1 C decreased from >10. 0% to ~8. 0% 288 patients achieved A 1 C 7. 0% Final dose was 0. 55 U/kg regardless of reaching target m. ITT = modified intent to treat. Davidson MB et al. Endocr Pract 2011
Characteristics of Available Basal Insulin Analogs Benefits over NPH Room for Improvement • Longer duration of action • Less variability • Less weight gain • Less hypoglycemia • More consistent 24+ hour coverage • Flat time-action profile • Less day-to-day variability • Less weight gain • Less hypoglycemia • More suppression of hepatic glucose production Simon ACR.

New Basal Insulin Formulations *Glargine U-300 *Degludec *Pegylated Lispro * Not FDA Approved
High concentration glargine (U 300)* • U 300 insulin glargine offers a smaller depot surface area leading to a reduced rate of absorption • Provides a flatter and prolonged pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles and more consistency • Half-life is ~23 hours • Steady state in 4 days • Duration of action ≤ 36 hours *Not FDA approved Garber AJ.
