Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will compare the safety, effectiveness, and cost of two different types of long-acting insulin.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study the investigators will be comparing two long-acting insulins, insulin glargine and NPH insulin. The trial will be evaluating differences in effectiveness, safety and cost between the two agents when used in patients on more than 80 units or 1unit/kg long-acting insulin. The investigators hypothesis is that patients switched from lantus to NPH will have improved blood glucose control.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Switching to NPH insulin

Patients in this arm will be transitioned from insulin glargine to NPH insulin with subsequent titration according to algorithm within protocol. If needed, meal-time insulin will be added during study period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Switching to NPH insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients in this arm will be transitioned from insulin glargine to NPH insulin with subsequent titration according to algorithm within protocol. If needed, meal-time insulin will be added during study period.

Continuation of insulin glargine

Patients in this arm will continue on insulin glargine and serve as a control group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Continuation of insulin glargine

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients in this group will serve as a control group, and information will be collected regarding the safety, effectiveness, and cost of treatment for use in this study.
