Brief Summary

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

The objective of this study is to compare the therapeutic efficacy of three regimens of insulin NPH/fast for optimal glycemic control in non-critical hospitalized patients.

Detailed Description

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

Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment regimens. Also, the use of oral antidiabetic drugs would be suspended during their stay at the hospital.

Study Groups

Once-daily insulin

60% of total dose of insulin as NPH insulin in the once-daily regimen was administered subcutaneously before breakfast. Also, 40% in rapid insulin before meals (every 8 hours).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Once-daily Insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive NPH insulin in a once-daily regimen. The starting dose is calculate according to body mass index (BMI): 0.3 U/kg for BMI \< 18 kg/m2, 0.4 U/kg for BMI 18-24.9 kg/m2, 0.5 U/kg for BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2 and 0.6 U/kg for BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. The resulting dose will be fractioned to be given 60% as basal insulin (NPH) and 40% as prandial insulin (Regular). NPH insulin in the once-daily regimen will be administered subcutaneously before breakfast. Regular insulin subcutaneously wil be given in three equally divided doses before each meal.

Twice-daily insulin

60% of total dose of insulin as NPH insulin in the twice-daily regimen it was given before breakfast and before dinner. Also, 40% in rapid insulin before meals (every 8 hours).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Twice-daily Insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients receive NPH insulin in twice-daily regimen. The starting dose is calculated according to body mass index (BMI): 0.3 U/kg for BMI \< 18 kg/m2, 0.4 U/kg for BMI 18-24.9 kg/m2, 0.5 U/kg for BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2 and 0.6 U/kg for BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. The resulting dose will de fractioned to be given 60% as basal insulin (NPH) and 40% as prandial insulin (Regular). NPH insulin in the twice-daily regimen will be administered subcutaneously before breakfast and before dinner. Regular insulin will be given in three equally divided doses before each meal.

Triple-daily insulin

60% of total dose of insulin as NPH insulin in the triple daily regimen it was administered before each meal. Also, 40% in rapid insulin before meals (every 8 hours).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Triple-daily Insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients receive NPH insulin in a triple-daily regimen. The starting dose was calculated according to body mass index (BMI): 0.3 U/kg for BMI \< 18 kg/m2, 0.4 U/kg for BMI 18-24.9 kg/m2, 0.5 U/kg for BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2 and 0.6 U/kg for BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. The resulting dose will be fractioned to be given 60% as basal insulin (NPH) and 40% as prandial insulin (Regular). NPH insulin in the triple daily regimen will be administered subcutaneously before each meal. Regular insulin will be given in three equally divided doses before each meal.
