Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and treatment satisfaction of insulin glargine plus oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) in Chinese individuals with Type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with premixed insulin plus OADs.
Methods: In this open-label, single-arm, 16-week, phase IV study, 313 subjects with Type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with premixed insulin plus OADs were switched to insulin glargine plus OADs. Changes in glycaemic control, incidence of hypoglycaemia and treatment satisfaction using the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) were evaluated.
Results: Switching to insulin glargine was associated with significant reductions in levels of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA(1c); 8.4 ± 0.6 to 7.9 ± 1.0%; p < 0.001) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG; 9.50 ± 2.10 to 6.58 ± 2.07 mmol/L; p < 0.001). A total of 32.9% of subjects experienced hypoglycaemia, including two cases of severe hypoglycaemia. Treatment satisfaction was improved with insulin glargine (DTSQ 8-item scores, all p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between baseline HbA(1c), disease duration, endpoint FPG and HbA(1c) < 7%.
Conclusion: This single-arm study suggested that switching to insulin glargine plus OADs significantly improved glycaemic control, with a low incidence of hypoglycaemia, in patients with Type 2 diabetes uncontrolled on premixed insulin plus OADs. Switching to insulin glargine was also associated with better patient treatment satisfaction compared with previous treatment. The main limitations to this study are the open-label design and the lack of a control arm.

Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are characterized by associations of two or more autoimmune diseases (AID). APS type 3 is characterized by the presence of autoimmune thyroid disease associated with other AID, excluding adrenal gland involvement. Here we report a case of a 64-year-old male, with history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), diagnosed at the age of 32, who was referred to a Diabetes consultation in 2014 due to poor metabolic control.

This article describes a pediatric diabetes center quality improvement initiative to switch youth with type 1 diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) from insulin glargine to longer-duration insulin degludec to determine whether this change would reduce DKA recurrence. Overall, the change in DKA recurrence with degludec was not statistically significant. However, subgroup analysis showed that race/ethnicity and insurance status were significantly associated with change in DKA rates.

Department of Anaesthesia, ICU and Pain Management, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Aim And Background: Hyperglycemia is a serious condition and associated with an increased risk of complications and mortality in both critically ill and non-critically ill people. Improvement in the glycemic level reduces the length of hospital stay, systemic infections and short- and long-term mortality. The aim was to test the effectiveness of insulin degludec vs insulin glargine and regular insulin in controlling blood sugar in patients with critical hyperglycemia.

This case report presents a rare instance of a 28-year-old female patient with insulin-induced abdominal lipodystrophy, who presented to the emergency department with symptoms of an anxiety attack triggered by body image distress. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of eight years. For the past 10 years, she has been using insulin glargine and insulin lispro, injecting roughly five times per day.

Aims: This study assessed efficacy and safety of the fixed ratio combination iGlarLixi 100/33 (insulin glargine 100 U/mL plus lixisenatide 33 μg/mL) in people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D) in daily clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: This non-interventional, multicentre, prospective, single-arm 24-week study documented PwT2D with an HbA1c of 7.5%-10.
