Efficacy and safety of switching to iGlarLixi from premixed insulins in people with type 2 diabetes: The Soli‐ SWITCH study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Single-arm interventional study

Authors' conclusion

iGlarLixi initiation was associated with improved glycaemic control, without body weight gain or increased hypoglycaemia over 24 weeks.

Study context

Population

Participants
162 adults
Comparison
Switch from premixed insulin to iGlarLixi
