iGlarLixi effectively reduces residual hyperglycaemia in Chinese people with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin: A post hoc analysis of the LixiLan ‐L‐ CN study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Post hoc analysis of the LixiLan-L-CN randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

The findings of this post hoc analysis suggest that iGlarLixi had greater benefits than iGlar in reducing the rate of residual hyperglycaemia over 30 weeks in Chinese people with suboptimally controlled T2D on prior BI-based therapy.

Study context

Population
Chinese people with uncontrolled T2D on prior basal insulin ± oral antidiabetic drugs124 with baseline residual hyperglycaemia
Participants
421 people
Comparison
iGlarLixi vs iGlar
Primary endpoint
Residual hyperglycaemia (HbA1c ≥ 7.0% and FPG < 7.0 mmol/L)
Follow-up
Over 30 weeks
