Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) in people with suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D) in China. METHODS INITIATION (NCT05002933) was a prospective, interventional, multicentre, single-arm, phase IV study conducted in China. Individuals with suboptimally controlled T2D who were insulin naïve or switching from another basal insulin (insulin experienced) were included. The primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c from baseline to week 24. Safety assessments included hypoglycaemia and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS In total, 568 participants were enrolled and 562 initiated Gla-300 treatment (189 in the insulin-naïve subgroup; 373 in the insulin-experienced subgroup). At week 24, the mean ± standard error (SE) change in HbA1c from baseline was -0.91% ± 0.05% (-9.9 ± 0.5 mmol/mol; P < .0001). Significant HbA1c reductions were also observed in the insulin-naïve (mean ± SE change: -1.38% ± 0.09% [-15.1 ± 1.0 mmol/mol]) and insulin-experienced (-0.68% ± 0.05% [-7.4 ± 0.5 mmol/mol]) subgroups (both P < .0001). During the 24-week treatment period, the incidence of confirmed hypoglycaemia (plasma glucose ≤ 3.9 mmol/L) was 39.7% for all hypoglycaemia and 13.3% for nocturnal hypoglycaemia; the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia was low (0.5%). Overall, treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were reported in 126 participants (22.4%), with no serious treatment-related TEAEs. CONCLUSIONS Gla-300 was effective in improving glycaemic control and had a relatively low risk of hypoglycaemia in people with suboptimally controlled T2D who were insulin naïve or switching from another basal insulin in China.

Diabetes Ther 2024; 15:1389-1401. [PMID: 38642260 PMCID: PMC11096151 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-024-01570-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Health2Sync (H2S) is a digital health technology platform that provides coaching and titration support to patients with diabetes. The Mallya cap converts a conventional insulin pen into a smart connected device that can automatically synchronize dose values and associated timestamps (upon injection) to the H2S platform. This single-arm real-world study evaluated the effectiveness of insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) combined with H2S and Mallya cap (Gla-300 + Cap + App program) on clinical outcomes among users with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Taiwan. METHODS Adults (aged ≥ 20 years) with T2D who were registered H2S users and initiated Mallya cap for a new/existing Gla-300 regimen (identification period May 1, 2021-May 31, 2022) were included in this retrospective cohort study. Follow-up data from H2S were collected for 90 days. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change (baseline to follow-up) and HbA1c goal attainment were primary outcomes. Hypoglycemia incidence and usage metrics of Mallya cap were secondary outcomes. RESULTS Of 83 participants, 38.6% were new Gla-300 users. HbA1c was reduced in both new (- 2.4 [2.7] %, - 26.2 [29.5] mmol/mol) and previous Gla-300 users (- 0.5 [1.6] %, - 5.5 [17.5] mmol/mol). Reduction in HbA1c was significant (p < 0.05) in both groups. At follow-up, 43.4% of users had a reduction of > 0.5%. Mean HbA1c reductions increased numerically with higher baseline HbA1c and with longer duration of Mallya cap usage. CONCLUSIONS Use of digital technology within a connected ecosystem such as Gla-300 + Cap + App program could help people with type 2 diabetes to improve their glycemic condition.

Expert Opinion on Current Trends in the Use of Insulin in the Management of People with Type 2 Diabetes from the South-Eastern European Region and Israel. Diabetes Ther 2024; 15:897-915. [PMID: 38472626 PMCID: PMC11043254 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-024-01556-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite the availability of various antihyperglycaemic therapies and comprehensive guidelines, glycaemic control in diabetes management has not improved significantly during the last decade in the real-world clinical setting. Treatment inertia arising from a complex interplay among patient-, clinician- and healthcare-system-related factors is the prime reason for this suboptimal glycaemic control. Also, the key factor leading to inadequate glycaemic levels remains limited communication between healthcare professionals (HCPs) and people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D). Early insulin administration has several advantages including reduced glucotoxicity, high efficacy and preserved β-cell mass/function, leading to lowering the risk of diabetes complications. The current publication is based on consensus of experts from the South-Eastern European region and Israel who reviewed the existing evidence and guidelines for the treatment of PwT2D. Herein, the experts emphasised the timely use of insulin, preferably second-generation basal insulin (BI) analogues and intensification using basal-plus therapy, as the most-potent glucose-lowering treatment choice in the real-world clinical setting. Despite an increase in the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), the experts urged timely insulin initiation for inadequate glycaemic control in PwT2D. Furthermore, the combination of BI and GLP-1 RA addressing both fasting plasma glucose and post-prandial excursions as a free- or fixed-ratio combination was identified to reduce treatment complexity and burden. To minimise discontinuation and improve adherence, the experts reiterated quality, regular interactions and discussions between HCPs and PwT2D/carers for their involvement in the diabetes management decision-making process. Clinicians and HCPs should consider the opinions of the experts in accordance with the most recent recommendations for diabetes management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The TOujeo BEyond glucose control (TOBE) study evaluated clinical outcomes with insulin glargine 300 units/mL (Gla-300) in insulin-naïve Korean people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a real-world setting. METHODS This 24-week, prospective, non-interventional, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, observational study included adults aged ≥ 20 years with T2DM suboptimally controlled with oral hypoglycemic agents and/or glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists who require basal insulin. Eligible participants were assigned to either general target glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c < 7%) or individualized target groups as per physician's discretion considering guidelines and participants' characteristics. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants achieving the HbA1c target (individualized or general) at 24 weeks. RESULTS Among 369 participants, 19.5% (72/369) of participants achieved the HbA1c target at week 24; 37.5% (33/88) in the individualized and 13.9% (39/281) in the general target group. In both target groups, similar reductions in fasting plasma glucose and body weight were observed, with low incidence of hypoglycemia, and T2DM duration was significantly shorter in participants who did versus those who did not achieve the target HbA1c (individualized target group: 9.6 ± 8.0 versus 13.1 ± 8.4 years, P = 0.0454; general target group: 10.2 ± 8.6 versus 12.8 ± 7.4 years, P = 0.0378). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that initiation of insulin therapy with Gla-300 in people with T2DM using an individualized approach is more effective in achieving an HbA1c target. Moreover, earlier initiation of insulin therapy in people with suboptimally controlled T2DM may increase the success rate of glycemic control. A graphical abstract is available with this article.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The effectiveness and safety of long-acting insulin glargine U300 (Gla-300), in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) requiring insulin, has not been reported in the Gulf region. METHODS Insulin-naïve patients with T2DM, uncontrolled on OADs, and prescribed Gla-300 were followed up in a 12-month prospective observational study. Gla-300 was titrated to glycemic targets. The primary endpoint (achieving glycemic targets) was evaluated at month 6 of treatment. The need for treatment intensification, safety, and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) were also reported. RESULTS The study included 412 patients (61.7% men; age 52.2 ± 11.1 years and T2DM duration 10.7 ± 6.8 years). Almost 50% were on more than 3 OADs, mostly biguanides, sulfonylureas, and dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors. Baseline HbA1c level was 9.2% ± 1.1% and targets were set at 6.9% ± 0.4%. Baseline fasting plasma glucose was 11.5 ± 3.8 mmol/l. Fifty-seven patients (13.8%) achieved glycemic targets at month 6, hindered by baseline HbA1c ≥ 10%, frequent co-morbidities, older age, suburban/rural residence, and full-time employment. Levels of HbA1c dropped progressively by 0.96% ± 0.07% (month 3), 1.29% ± 0.08% (month 6), and 1.76% ± 0.06% (month 12). Gla-300 dose was 17.0 ± 9.0 IU/day at baseline, 24.6 ± 9.6 IU/day at month 3, 28.5 ± 9.9 IU/day at month 6, and 30.7 ± 10.7 IU/day at month 12. Three patients experienced non-severe hypoglycemia and a slight decrease in body weight and PROs improved. CONCLUSIONS In the Gulf, Gla-300 in patients with T2DM uncontrolled on OADs improved glycemic control, with low rates of hypoglycemia and improved PROs. Gla-300 dose up-titration from baseline to month 6 did not, however, result in a vast proportion of patients achieving their pre-determined HbA1c targets.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) in achieving glycaemic goals in insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Mexico, Colombia and Peru (Latin America region) in the A Toujeo Observational Study (ATOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS ATOS was a multicentre, prospective, 12-month observational study, which included 4422 insulin-naïve adults (age ≥ 18 years) with T2D uncontrolled (HbA1c > 7% and ≤11%) on at least one oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) who initiated Gla-300 treatment as per routine practice. The primary endpoint was the percentage of participants achieving their predefined individualized HbA1c goal at month 6. Key secondary endpoints included change from baseline in HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG), body weight and incidence of hypoglycaemia. RESULTS In this subgroup analysis, a total of 314 participants with T2D received Gla-300. At baseline, mean ± SD age was 56.0 ± 11.6 years, duration of diabetes was 9.7 ± 6.6 years and 65.9% of participants were on at least two OADs. The individualized HbA1c target was achieved by 25.8% of participants (95% confidence interval [CI]: 20.3-31.9) at month 6 and by 35.3% (95% CI: 28.5-42.5) at month 12. Gla-300 treatment improved glycaemic control with meaningful reductions in mean HbA1c, FPG and fasting SMBG. The incidence of hypoglycaemia reported was low and body weight remained stable. CONCLUSIONS In a real-world setting in the Latin America region, the initiation of Gla-300 in people with T2D uncontrolled on OADs resulted in improved glycaemic control with a low incidence of hypoglycaemia and no change in body weight.

Klimontov VV. Predictors of success and failure in achieving glycemic control targets in patients with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin: review of the real-world evidence studies. DIABETES MELLITUS 2022.

Abstract
Basal insulin (BI) is the main therapeutic option for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who have not reached glycemic targets on oral antidiabetic drugs and/or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. The results of epidemiological studies indicate that the majority of patients with T2D do not achieve the targeted parameters of glycemic control on BI in the real-world settings. In this review the results of real-world evidence studies assessing predictors of success or failure of BI therapy in patients with T2D are we summarized. A number of studies have demonstrated that delayed initiation of insulin therapy with a high level of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at the start of the treatment reduces achieving glycemic control targets on BI. Hypoglycemia in the first weeks or months of BI treatment may reduce the adherence and persistence to treatment and likelihood of achieving treatment targets. In real-world evidence studies, glargine 300 U/mL and degludec, the long-acting second-generation insulin analogues, have shown greater potential in reduction of HbA1c levels with a lower risk of hypoglycaemia compared to other BIs. In the DUNE, ATOS, and some others studies, a lack of insulin dose titration in newly initiated BI users and those who needed treatment intensification was demonstrated. Poor treatment adherence and persistence (missed injections, incorrect dose selection, and temporary or permanent discontinuation of insulin therapy), deviations in insulin injection technique, and formation of lipohypertrophy at the injection sites are also common problems that prevent good glycemic control in these patients. Therefore, patient education with a focus on injection technique, dose titration and prevention of hypoglycemia, as well as the use of the second-generation BI analogs, increases the chances for achieving glycemic control targets in patients with T2D who initiate or need to intensify BI therapy.
