IMPACT OF SWITCHING YOUTH WITH DIABETES TO INSULIN DEGLUDEC IN CLINICAL PRACTICE.

Objective: Many youth with diabetes struggle to meet glycemic targets. The new ultralong duration of action of insulin degludec (iDeg) holds potential to ameliorate missed doses of basal insulin and improve glycemic control in youth with diabetes.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was undertaken of youth age 13 to <24 years in our practice with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) who had been switched from glargine or detemir to iDeg to evaluate the impact of this transition on glycemic control.
