Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of continuous subcutaneous insulin aspart infusion (CSII) versus multiple daily injections (MDI) using long-acting insulin analogues (glargine or detemir) for poorly controlled type 2 diabetes patients.
- 119 patients were randomly divided into three groups: CSII (Group A), glargine-based MDI (Group B), and detemir-based MDI (Group C).
- Results showed that Group A achieved better blood glucose control in a shorter time with lower insulin doses compared to Groups B and C, with no significant differences between the glargine and detemir groups.
