Abstract
Long-acting insulins analogues are related with the reduction of hypoglycemic events.
Objective: Ultralong-acting insulin analog Degludec (IDeg) in type 1 diabetic patients (T1D) previously treated with Glargine (U-100) with severes hypoglycemic events and poor metabolic control.
Patients and Method: 230 T1D patients were followed for 18 months, average 34 years old and 14 years of the diabetes diagnosed. Hypoglycemias, biochemical parameters and insulin requirements were analyzed in a period of 18 months. All the patients were on a basal bolus regimen with IDeg as basal adjusted fortnightly, and ultra-fast bolus insulin pre-meals three times a daily.
Results: At 3 months fasting glycemia decreased from 253 mg/dl to 180 mg/dl; at 6 months 156 mg/dl; at 12 months151 mg/dl and at 18 months 150 mg/dl. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) initially 10.6%, decreased at 3 months to 8.7% at 6 months 8.3% at 12 months 9.0%, at 18 months 9.0%. All these results were statistically significant p < 0.05. Hypoglycemic events, milds, moderate, severes, and nocturnal, decreased significantly throughout the study, improving the quality of life of patients
Conclusion: IDeg in T1D showed to reduce fasting glycemia, HbA1c, and hypoglycemic events.
