Switching to insulin glargine 300 units/mL in real-world older patients with type 2 diabetes (DELIVER 3).

Aim: To compare the second-generation basal insulin glargine 300 units/mL (Gla-300) and first-generation basal insulins on glycaemic control and hypoglycaemia risk in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Materials And Methods: DELIVER 3 was a retrospective observational cohort study of electronic medical records. A total of 1176 older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) with T2D and ≥1 HbA1c value during 6 month baseline and 3 to 6 month follow-up who switched from basal insulin to Gla-300 were propensity score-matched to 1176 older adults who switched to a first-generation basal insulin [insulin detemir (IDet) or insulin glargine 100 units/mL (Gla-100)].

Comparable glycaemic control and hypoglycaemia in adults with type 2 diabetes after initiating insulin glargine 300 units/mL or insulin degludec: The DELIVER Naïve D real-world study.

Aim: To compare glycaemic control, hypoglycaemia and treatment discontinuation of insulin glargine 300 units/mL (Gla-300) and insulin degludec (IDeg) in a real-world study of insulin-naïve adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Materials And Methods: DELIVER Naive D was a retrospective observational study that used electronic medical record data from the IBM Watson Health Explorys database. Insulin-naïve adults with T2D who started Gla-300 or IDeg between March 2015 and September 2017 were identified.
