Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients with type 1 diabetes (basal-bolus insulin therapy) or type 2 diabetes (basal insulin plus 1-2x prandial insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs or basal-bolus insulin therapy) with any basal insulin except insulin glargine 300 U/mL. 2. Adults and Seniors: Age at least 18 years, no upper age limit. 3. HbA1c between 7.5% to 10.0%. 4. Fasting blood glucose > 130 mg/dL. 5. Ability and willingness to perform blood glucose self-monitoring.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Contraindications for a therapy with insulin glargine 300 U/mL. 2. Patients receiving oral antidiabetic drug therapy only. 3. Patients receiving basal insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs without prandial insulin. 4. Patients with known cancer disease. 5. Pregnancy. 6. Drug or alcohol abuse. 7. Dementia or general incapacity to understand the content of the observational study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Duration (persistency) of response defined as time from start of response to end of response. Beginning of response was defined by time of the first of at least two FBG values below or equal to 110 mg/dL or time of first HbA1c below or equal to predefined individual target value whichever occurred first. End of response was defined as one of the following: - the second FBG value >110 mg/dL (>6.1 mmol/L) after start of FBG response or - the first HbA1c value above the individual predefined target or - change to another form of insulin therapy or change of basal insulin. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Absolute change in HbA1c from baseline to 6 months to 12 months 2. Absolute change in FBG from baseline to 6 months to 12 months 3. Response rate 6 and 12 months after start of insulin glargine 300 U/mL treatment defined by: - Reaching two FBG values below or equal to 110 mg/dL or at least once the predefined individual HbA1c target value or - Reaching at least one HbA1c value equal or less to the predefined individual HbA1c target value OR - Reaching two FBG values below or equal to 110 mg/dL or - Reaching two FBG values below or equal to 110 mg/dL and at least once the predefined individual HbA1c target value. 4. Time from start of insulin glargine 300 U/mL treatment to response for each of the response endpoints 5. Incidence rates and rates per patient-year were calculated for symptomatic, confirmed symptomatic, nocturnal, severe, and severe nocturnal hypoglycemia as reported in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF). Confirmation of symptomatic hypoglycemia was defined as self-measured blood glucose (SMBG) measurement below or equal to 70 mg/dL. Severe hypoglycemia was defined as necessity of the assistance of another person or an SMBG measurement of below or equal to 56 mg/dL. Nocturnal hypoglycemia occurring during the night (approximately 10pm-6am), while the patient was asleep (symptomatic or confirmed by SMBG measurement below or equal to 70 mg/dL). Severe nocturnal hypoglycemia was defined as those nocturnal hypoglycemia fulfilling the Definition of severe hypoglycemia. 95% CIs for incidence rates were calculated according to Clopper-Pearson. Rates per patient-year were calculated as a cumulative number of hypoglycemia events for all patients divided by the cumulative duration of insulin glargine 300 U/mL therapy in years, whereas patients with missing treatment duration or missing number of hypo | — |
