Type 2 & other diabetes

Efficacy and safety of switching basal insulin to insulin glargine 300 U/ mL in individuals with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes on advanced insulin therapies: The Toujeo‐Neo T2DM study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Prospective observational cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Switching BI to Gla-300 from a BOTplus or MDI regimen with prior insulin Gla-100, IDeg, IDet, or NPH improved glycaemic control in participants with inadequately controlled T2DM over 12 months without increasing hypoglycaemia risk or weight gain.

Study context

Population
Adults (≥18 years) with T2DM, HbA1c 7.5%–10.0% and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) >130 mg/dL (>7.2 mmol/L) on BOTplus or MDI, Germany582 completed 12 months
Participants
1,217 adults
Exposure
Switch of basal insulin to Gla-300 from BOTplus or MDI regimen
Outcome
Duration of glycaemic target achievement: time between ≥2 FPG values ≤110 mg/dL (≤6.1 mmol/L) or ≥1 HbA1c value below predefined target
Follow-up
12 months
