Trial Outcomes & Findings for Perioperative Insulin Glargine Dosing Study (NCT NCT00309465)

NCT ID: NCT00309465

Last Updated: 2012-12-03

Results Overview

Venous blood glucose values were obtained in the preoperative nursing unit. Blood glucose values were analyzed for achievement of target 100-179 mg/dl range and extended 80-249 mg/dl range. Analyses were by intention to treat.

Participant Flow

Recruitment at William Beaumont Heath System Royal Oak and Troy campuses commenced in October 2005 and was completed in September 2008.

Subjects were stratified into groups (insulin glargine only group and insulin glargine plus bolus group) by the absence or presence of daily rapid-acting (or short-acting) insulin in regimen. The two groups were then randomized into Take 80%, Call Physician or Dose Table strategies. One subject was excluded from analysis due to eligibility error.

Measure
Take 80% (Insulin Glargine Only Group)
Subjects were instructed to self-administer 80% of the usual insulin glargine dose on the evening before surgery.
Call Physician (Insulin Glargine Only Group)
Subjects were instructed to call their own physician for the insulin glargine dose to administer the evening before surgery.
Dose Table (Insulin Glargine Only Group)
Subjects were instructed to self-administer: (a) 50% of their usual insulin glargine if the midpoint of their usual self-reported fasting blood glucose value was \< 150 mg/dl or (b) 80% of their usual insulin glargine if the midpoint of their usual self-reported fasting blood glucose range was \> or = 150 mg/dl.
Take 80% (Insulin Glargine Plus Bolus Group)
Subjects were instructed to self-administer 80% of the usual insulin glargine dose the evening before surgery
Call Physician (Insulin Glargine Plus Bolus Group
Subjects were instructed to call their own physician for the insulin glargine dose to administer the evening before surgery.
Dose Table (Insulin Glargine Plus Bolus Group)
Subjects were instructed to self-administer: (a) 80% of the usual insulin glargine dose if the midpoint of self-reported usual fasting blood glucose value was \<150 mg/dl or (b) 100% of the usual insulin glargine dose if the midpoint of the self-reported usual fasting blood glucose range was \> or = 150 mg/dl.
