Brief summary

The aim of this study is to demonstrate efficacy and safety of self-titration algorithm with Gla-300 using the INSIGHT algorithm (once daily by 1 unit) and the EDITION algorithm (once weekly by 3 units) in Korean patients with T2D.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to obtain efficacy and safety descriptive data on two different titration algorithms: the INSIGHT titration algorithm (self-titration of 1 unit/day) and the EDITION trial algorithm with insulin glargine 300 units/mL (GLA-300) when given as basal insulin in uncontrolled T2DM patients on basal insulin with or without non-insulin anti-hyperglycemic agent (NIAHA) or in insulin naïve patients. In a Korean, single-center, type 2 diabetes patients with basal insulin therapy will be enrolled. They will be randomly assigned to either titration algorithm for GLA-300. After 12 weeks, the glycemic control, patients' satisfaction to the titration methods and healthcare providers' satisfaction to titration methods will be assessed.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALGroup 1

Patients will be instructed to daily adjust their dose of Gla-300 based on fasting SMPG values. Fasting SMPG will be measured daily by the patient before breakfast and any intake of antihyperglycemic agents. Fasting SMPG in the range of ≥ 5.6 mmol/L, increase 1 unit of Gla-300 dose, \> 4.4 and ≤ 5.6 mmol/L, no change, \< 4.4 mmol/L, reduce 1 unit of Gla-300 dose

BEHAVIORALGroup 2

Fasting SMPG (median of the last 3 days including current day) in the range of * 7.8 mmol/L, increase 6 units of Gla-300 dose, \> 5.6 and \< 7.8 mmol/L, increase 3 units of Gla-300 dose, \> 4.4 and ≤ 5.6 mmol/L, no change, * 3.3 and \< 4.4 mmol/L, reduce 3 units of Gla-300 dose, \< 3.3 mmol/L or occurrence of ≥ 2 symptomatic or 1 severe hypoglycemic episode in the preceding week, reduce 3 units of Gla-300 dose or at the discretion of the investigator
