Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of T-glu (GP40321, test drug), and reference insulin glulisine in a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure. During this study, 34 healthy male volunteers underwent the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure following subcutaneous 0.3 U/kg injection of T-glu or reference insulin glulisine in a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. Plasma glucose levels were monitored every 5 minutes for 8 hours. Glucose infusion rate adjustment was based on the blood glucose measurements. Evaluation of PD was performed using the glucose infusion rate values, while PK was calculated using insulin concentrations measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The study results showed that the 90% CI for the geometric mean ratios of primary PK and PD of T-glu and reference insulin glulisine were within 80%-125% comparability limits, and that the safety profiles were comparable. PK, PD, and safety similarity of T-glu and reference insulin glulisine was demonstrated.

Abstract
The discovery of insulin by Banting and Best marked 100 years in 2021, and it was a life-saving treatment modality for type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin is a natural hormone that has been used extensively in T2DM patients since its discovery. Currently, insulin analogs are also available in different formulations for T2DM management, overcoming the limitations of human insulin with better safety and side effect profiles. The insulin analogs like the rapid-acting analogs (Aspart, lispro, glulisine), the long-acting basal analogs (Glargine, detemir), the ultra-long acting (Insulin degludec), and the premixed insulin analog formulations (75% Neutral protamine lispro, 25% lispro; 50% neutral protamine lispro, 50% lispro; 70% protamine aspart, 30% aspart) have been prepared through genetic engineering while preserving the basic insulin profile. A large number of studies have demonstrated their clinical effects on glycated hemoglobin test (HbA1c) in achieving glycemic control and thereby lowering the microvascular and macrovascular complications of T2DM with less traditional side effects of regular human insulin, mainly the risk of hypoglycemia, postprandial glycemic excursions, and weight gain. This review explores the currently available insulin analogs, their clinical implications, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety profile, and cost-effectiveness. We also discuss the future developments in the management of T2DM, especially the scientific advancements surrounding the novel insulin formulations, including the biosimilar insulin, and the innovative insulin delivery methods, such as oral and inhaled insulin.

Abstract
To clarify the frequency of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus receiving dapagliflozin combination therapy to reduce their basal insulin dose. Sixty subjects were assigned to two groups according to their basal insulin-to-total daily dose (TDD) ratio: group A (basal insulin/TDD <40%) and group B (≥40%). Reduction of the basal insulin dose was instituted in group B, but not in group A. The number of hypoglycemic events per day and ketosis frequency were the primary and secondary endpoints, respectively. The hypoglycemia frequency before and after the intervention was 0.23 and 0.26 times/day in group A and 0.19 and 0.23 times/day in group B, respectively, with no significant difference between the groups. The total insulin dose reduction was approximately 10% in both groups. Ketosis frequency increased significantly after the intervention (from 0.013 to 0.086 times/day in group A and 0.013 to 0.059 times/day in group B). Time-in-range, mean amplitude of glycemic excursion, and glycated hemoglobin A1c improved in both groups. No significant difference in hypoglycemia frequency was observed between patients with and without reduction of the basal insulin dose. The combination therapy improved glycemic control and patient satisfaction regarding hyperglycemia. Nevertheless, adequate attention to ketosis is crucial.

Clin Med Insights Endocrinol Diabetes 2021; 14:11795514211040539. [PMID: 34602832 PMCID: PMC8482353 DOI: 10.1177/11795514211040539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The safe method of instructing insulin dose reduction in combination with
SGLT2 inhibitors, dapagliflozin for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus
has not been clarified. In this study, we conducted a stratified, 2-arm,
parallel comparative study with the primary endpoint of decreasing the
frequency of hypoglycemia by instructing basal insulin dose reduction. Methods: The study has a multicenter, open-label, 2-arm design; 60 type 1 diabetes
mellitus patients are being recruited from 7 hospitals. Study subjects have
been stratified into 2 groups based on the ratio of basal insulin daily dose
(Basal) to total daily insulin dose (TDD). The subjects whose Basal/TDD
ratio is <0.4 are instructed not to reduce Basal but to reduce bolus
insulin dose by 10% (group A), and subjects with a Basal/TDD ratio >0.4
will be instructed to reduce Basal by 10% (group B). The primary outcome is
the daily frequency of hypoglycemia during the intervention period (SGLT2
inhibitor administration), as determined by self-monitoring of blood
glucose. We aimed to confirm a greater reduction in frequency of
hypoglycemia in group B (reduced Basal), than in group A (non-reduction of
Basal and reduced insulin effect levels by 10%). Baseline hypoglycemia was
set at 7 ± 6 times/month. The minimum sample size required to achieve a
significance of .05 for a 1-sided t-test with a statistical
power at 80% is determined. When the sample size is 26 patients in 1 group,
the percentage increase in hypoglycemia exceeds 60%, and the sample size is
considered sufficient. Discussion: In this pilot study, we assumed that, given a sufficient Basal, hypoglycemia
would be more frequent in patients with type 1 diabetes when combined with
SGLT2 inhibitors, provided the Basal was not reduced.

Abstract
Background Rapid-acting insulin analogs (RAIs) have not been examined for long-term safety in randomized clinical trials. We performed a nationwide longitudinal cohort study among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) to address cardiovascular safety and mortality among users of lispro, aspart and glulisine insulins. Methods We used four national registers, following patients previously not treated with RAI but with continuous use of RAIs in 2005-2014 up to 6.4 years, to examine HbA1c and weight, and the occurrence of severe hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, renal failure, cardiovascular events or death. The treatment groups were compared using a weighted Cox proportional hazards model. Results We included 17,620 patients, mean age slightly higher than 60 years, diabetes duration 9.9–11.7 years, mean BMI 30.5 kg/m2, HbA1c around 70 mmol/mol (8.6% NGSP), and 40.9–54.0% of the patients exhibiting eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 in the three groups. Around 95% of the patients also used another insulin, and 24.2–24.7% had a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mean HbA1c and weight levels were stable and similar. Incidence rates of death were 234.4, 284.9 and 156.7 per 1000 person-years among users of lispro, aspart, and glulisine; incidence rates of all cardiovascular events were 668.4, 622.4, and 699.5 per 1000 person-years, respectively. There were no differences in mortality, CVD, renal failure or severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, although a lower mortality risk in patients on glulisine compared with aspart, and lower risk of stroke in users of glulisine was suggested. The risk of severe hyperglycemia was higher with lispro than aspart, and lower of severe hypoglycemia than aspart or glulisine among the older age group. Conclusions Overall, there do not appear to be any major important differences in effects on hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, weight or long-term safety between the three available RAIs among insulin-naive individuals with T2DM in clinical practice.

Abstract
We evaluated the efficacy and safety of insulin glulisine (GLU) used for continuous s.c. insulin infusion (CSII) in 20 children with type 1 diabetes after 1 year of GLU treatment. There were no significant differences in mean plasma glucose before breakfast and before dinner between before and after using GLU, but the levels after breakfast and after dinner significantly improved, from 192.5 ± 31.7 to 162.0 ± 27.3 mg/dL for breakfast, and from 191.1 ± 33.3 to 161.1 ± 24.5 mg/dL for dinner (P < 0.01). Mean hemoglobin A1c significantly decreased (from 8.0 ± 0.8 to 7.7 ± 0.8%, P < 0.05), and the mean frequency of hypoglycemia significantly reduced after using GLU (from 8.3 ± 4.9 to 6.0 ± 3.4/month, P < 0.05). In conclusion, the use of GLU rather than other rapid-acting analogues for CSII might be an effective treatment option in children with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We compared the effects of morning administration of insulin glulisine + insulin glargine 300 U/mL (G + G300) with that of insulin lispro + insulin glargine biosimilar (L + GB). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 patients with type 2 diabetes who wore a continuous glucose monitoring device on admission after glucose levels were stabilized by morning long-acting and ultra-rapid-acting insulins were randomly allocated to groups who received G + G300 on days 1 and 2, and the same dose L + GB on days 3 and 4, or vice versa. Data collected on days 2 and 4 (mean amplitude of glycemic excursion, mean of daily differences: all days) were analyzed. Insulin was injected at 08.00 h. A day was defined as the period from 08.00 h one day, to 08.00 h the next day. Test meals were given. RESULTS Increased post-breakfast glucose level, post-breakfast glucose gradient, mean glucose level, standard deviation and M-value (24 h, 00.00-06.00 h), mean amplitude of glycemic excursion, and mean of daily differences were significantly lower in patients taking G + G300 than those taking L + GB (P ≤ 0.0001-0.04). The area over the glucose curve (<70 mg/dL) was not significantly different between groups. Pre-lunch - pre-breakfast glucose levels were significantly lower in patients taking L + GB than those taking G + G300 (P < 0.0001). The difference in the highest post-breakfast glucose level between groups (Δ = G + G300 - L + GB) was significantly correlated to 24-h mean glucose level (r = 0.40, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Compared with L + GB, G + G300 decreases post-breakfast glucose level reducing rate of rise of that, nocturnal and 24-h glucose variability and level without causing hypoglycemia, and daily variance.

Abstract
This study implemented a randomized crossover design to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching from insulin glargine (IGlar) to insulin degludec (IDeg) in 18 children (11 males, 7 females; age 11.0 ± 0.5 years) with type 1 diabetes. All subjects had previously used IGlar once daily at bedtime. We compared fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c levels, frequencies of overall and nocturnal (2200 h - 0659 h) hypoglycemia, and basal insulin dose at the baseline with those measured during a 24-week period during which IGlar or IDeg was administered in combination with pre-meal rapid acting insulin analogues. IDeg was initially given at the same dose as IGlar but was subsequently titrated to achieve FPG levels of 90-140 mg/dL. There were no significant changes in FPG and HbA1c levels from the baseline during the 24-week study period with IGlar or IDeg. The daily basal insulin dose did not significantly differ with IGlar or IDeg. Although the frequencies of overall hypoglycemia were similar, nocturnal hypoglycemia significantly decreased at 12 and 24 weeks from the baseline with IDeg use (2 ± 0.4 vs. 0 ± 0.3, 0 ± 0.5 episodes/month, both P <0.05), whereas no significant change in the frequency of nocturnal hypoglycemia was observed with IGlar. No severe hypoglycemia occurred during the study period with either basal insulin analogues. These results suggest that IDeg, injected once at bedtime, may provide similar glycemic control as IGlar while better reducing the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes.
