Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to determine differences in glycemic control between a basal-bolus scheme insulin and NPH scheme insulin in a population of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes in a Noncritical Care Facility in Mexico. Patients with a recent diagnosis of type 2 and patients on treatment with oral hypoglycaemic agents and insulin or only insulin were included.

The primary outcome of the study is to determine difference in efficacy and security between a basal-bolus scheme insulin and NPH scheme insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized in non-critical areas in a hospital in Mexico

Detailed Description

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

On the first 4 to 6 h, the use of NPH insulin present a pronounced action peak on the postprandial glucose metabolism, and the rest of its basal action last 12 to 18 h, its cover the postprandial requirements of the first two meals of the day (breakfast and lunch) administering 2/3 of the total dose, and the requirements for the dinner with 1/3 of the total dose at the night. This is considered a good scheme for handling hyperglycemia, and its possible to have less hypoglycemia episodes, which are possible if an ultra-rapid-acting insulin is added and adequate intake is not performed due to multiple factors related to hospitalization.

Today it is uncertain whether there is any clear benefit of using Glargine plus Lantus insulin over NPH insulin in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. Currently, both Glargine and NPH based regimen is practiced in inpatient hospital facilities. Current practice of inpatient insulin regimen is based on the physicians familiarity with a particular insulin type and personal preference rather than evidenced based knowledge. Glargine plus ultrafast insulin are two types of insulin that are more expensive compared to NPH with incidental benefits in hospitalized patients. There are reports in the literature about the incidence of hypoglycemia with this scheme. The current research proposal is to compare these two schemes in the treatment of hospitalized patients with diabetes in a hospital of the second level of care in Mexico.

Study Groups

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

NPH insulin group

Patients receiving NPH twice daily, 2/3 in the morning and 1/3 in the night. A correctional dose of lispro insulin will be given for any blood glucose \>180 mg/dL. If subjects were not eating, they shouldn't receive dose of NPH insulin. Intervention Drug: NPH insulin

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

NPH insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

NPH insulin twice daily, 2/3 in the morning and 1/3 in the night. A correctional dose of lispro insulin will be given for any blood glucose \>180 mg/dL.

Glargine and Lispro insulin group

Half of the total of Glargine and Lispro insulin dose will be given as glargine once daily, either in the morning or in the evening, depending on when the patient was enrolled. The other half of the total daily insulin dose will be given as Lispro; doses were divided equally for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. An additional correctional dose of Lispro will be given for any blood glucose \>180 mg/dL. If subjects were not eating, they received glargine once daily and they shouldn't receive doses of lispro.

Intervention drug: Glargine and Lispro

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Glargine and Lispro insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

Half of the total Glargine and Lispro insulin dose will be given as glargine once daily, either in the morning or in the evening, depending on when the patient was enrolled. The other half of the total daily insulin dose was given as Lispro; doses were divided equally between breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
