The miscibility of human semisynthetic regular and lente insulins (Actrapid human/Monotard human) and human biosynthetic regular and NPH insulins (Humulin regular/Humulin NPH) was studied in vitro and in 16 insulin-dependent diabetic patients. In vitro a decrease of regular insulin was found immediately after mixture with semisynthetic lente insulin in proportions 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1. This was not found after mixture with human biosynthetic regular and NPH insulins. Free insulin and blood glucose were determined over 8 h after the morning injection of regular/lente (n = 9) or regular/NPH (n = 7) insulins in proportions used by the patients (approximately 1:2) mixed in one syringe or in separate syringes. Mixing the regular/lente preparations in one syringe immediately before injection resulted in a significant loss of the early rise in free insulin (P less than .01), with a tendency to a higher free insulin in the afternoon. A corresponding change in the blood glucose profile was seen. No changes were observed in free insulin or blood glucose after mixing regular and NPH preparations compared with separate injections. We conclude that mixing human semisynthetic regular and lente insulins (Actrapid human/Monotard human) instantly results in a decrease of regular insulin, probably due to formation of a longer-acting preparation, whereas no such changes occur with human biosynthetic regular and NPH insulins (Humulin regular/Humulin NPH).

Expecting factors for inadequate glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a single center experience.
J Diabetes Metab Disord
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq.
Objectives: Achieving an ideal glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is both a difficult and challenging process. We aim to highlight the expected factors contributing to inadequate glycemic control in children and adolescents with T1DM in a sample of Iraqi children and adolescents.
Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study that recruited 247 T1DM patients aged < 18 years & disease duration ≥ 1 year.
Transitioning to Insulin Analogs in Tunisian Children with Type 1 Diabetes: Efficacy and Safety.

Pediatrics and Neonatology departement , Yasminette Ben Arous , Tunisia. University El Manar, Faculty of Medecine of Tunis.
Introduction: there is a lack of research evaluating the impact of therapeutic switching from human insulin to analogues, particularly in paediatric populations from low- and middle-income countries.
Aim: The study aimed to retrospectively assess the effectiveness and safety of transitioning from human insulin to insulin analogs in Tunisian children with diabetes.
Methods: This retrospective descriptive study included children with type 1 diabetes who changed their insulin therapy protocol after at least one year of treatment with human insulin.

Diabetes patients often rely on tailored insulin therapies, necessitating precise blends of various insulin types to achieve optimal pharmacokinetic profiles, including the quantity and action duration of insulin absorption into the bloodstream. This study aimed to develop an accurate quantification method for mixed insulin preparations, consisting of Insulin-NPH and Insulin Regular in ratios varying between 0:100-100:0. Time Domain NMR (TD-NMR) techniques, T relaxation times, and TT maps were used to analyze the mixtures.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a prevalent chronic disease among children and adolescents, necessitating effective self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) levels. Understanding the determinants and factors influencing SMBG behavior is crucial for optimizing diabetes management in this population.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the frequency of SMBG and identify the determinants influencing factors in children and adolescents with T1DM.

Objectives: Clinical-laboratory comparison of a population of children and adolescents with DM1 followed at a Brazilian outpatient university clinic, at two different periods (2014 and 2020), regarding changes made both to the insulin therapy scheme and to the nutritional approach to carbohydrate counting.
Methods: The data of patients with DM1 aged 0-19 years enrolled in the service in 2014 and 2020 were collected. Student's t-test was performed to compare the means of HbA1c and the variables of interest.
