Objective: To study the pharmacodynamic properties of a 30/70 premixed formulation of the rapid-acting insulin analog insulin aspart (B28Asp) and its protamine-retarded preparation (30/70 IA) in comparison with a respective mixture of soluble human insulin and NPH insulin (30/70 HI).

Research Design And Methods: In this single-center double-blind euglycemic glucose-clamp study, 24 healthy male volunteers (age, 26 +/- 2 years; BMI, 23.7 +/- 1.7 kg/m2) received single subcutaneous injections of 0.3 U/kg body wt of either 30/70 IA or 30/70 HI on 2 study days in randomized order. Glucose infusion rates (GIRs) were determined over a 24-h period after administration.

Results: The injection of 30/70 IA resulted in an earlier onset and more pronounced peak of action (tmax, 127 +/- 24 min; GIRmax 9.7 +/- 2.3 mg.kg-1.min-1) than 30/70 HI (tmax, 185 +/- 52 min; GIRmax, 7.4 +/- 1.7 mg.kg-1.min-1_ (P < 0.001). The metabolic activity of 30/70 IA (measured as the sum of the glucose infused) within the first 4 h after injection was 37% greater than that of 30/70 HI (P < 0.0001), while the total metabolic potencies over 24 h of both preparations were comparable.

Conclusions: The 30/70 premixed formulation of insulin aspart shows a significantly greater metabolic effect in the first 4 h after subcutaneous injection than the 30/70 mixture of human insulin. Insulin aspart retains its pharmacodynamic properties in a premixed 30/70 formulation.

Efficacy, safety and treatment satisfaction of transition to a regimen of insulin degludec/aspart: A pilot study.

World J Diabetes

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology, Key Laboratory of Endocrinology of National Health Commission, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China.

Background: There is a lack of clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of transitioning from a thrice-daily pre-mixed insulin or basal-prandial regimen to insulin deglu-dec/aspart (IDegAsp) therapy, with insufficient data from the Chinese popu-lation.

Aim: To demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and treatment satisfaction associated with the transition to IDegAsp in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: In this 12-week open-label, non-randomized, single-center, pilot study, patients with T2DM receiving thrice-daily insulin or intensive insulin treatment were transitioned to twice-daily injections of insulin IDegAsp.

Insulin aspart, a rapid-acting analog, achieves faster subcutaneous absorption than regular insulin. This study aimed to demonstrate equivalence in the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of Recombinant Human Insulin Aspart from BioGenomics Limited (as test) and Novo-Nordisk (as reference) in healthy adult males. This was a double-blind, randomized, cross-over study, assessing PK and PD parameters under fasting conditions.

Long-term blood glucose control via glucose-activated transcriptional regulation of insulin analogue in type 1 diabetes mice.

Diabetes Obes Metab

National Engineering Research Center for Biomaterials, College of Biomedical Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, People's Republic of China.

Aim: To achieve glucose-activated transcriptional regulation of insulin analogue in skeletal muscle of T1D mice, thereby controlling blood glucose levels and preventing or mitigating diabetes-related complications.

Materials And Methods: We developed the GANIT (Glucose-Activated NFAT-regulated INSA-F Transcription) system, an innovative platform building upon the previously established intramuscular plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery and expression system. In the GANIT system, skeletal muscle cells are genetically engineered to endogenously produce the insulin analogue INSA-F (Insulin Aspart with Furin cleavage sites).

Summary: Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), characterised by excessive epidermal thickening of the skin on the palms and/or plantar surfaces of the feet, can be hereditary or acquired. Here, we report a case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of sub-optimally controlled diabetes mellitus presenting with fevers and decreased Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to a tertiary hospital. She was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), with blood glucose at 40 mmol/L and ketones at 7 mmol/L, in the setting of a methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus necrotising soft tissue back infection.

Background: Type 1 diabetes is a serious, chronic disorder with an increasing incidence among children and adolescents. Glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes is better managed through a basal-bolus regimen with either regular human or rapid-acting insulin analogues administered as a bolus at mealtimes. Rapid-acting insulin analogues have been hypothesized to cause optimal glycemic control and less risk of hypoglycemic episodes compared to regular human insulins.
