Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive disease accompanied by a gradual worsening of β-cell function. With a long course of T2DM, a significant proportion of patients develop absolute insulinopenia and there is a need to transfer the patient from oral hypoglycemic drugs (OHD) to basal insulin therapy in combination with OHD or to the basal-bolus regimen of insulin therapy (IT). More than 80% of patients with T2DM are obese or overweight and the addition of insulin, which is a lipogenetic hormone, to the therapy contributes to even greater weight gain, which serves as a prerequisite for increasing cardiovascular risks, as well as the appearance and progression of biomechanical problems such as arthrosis of the joints, venous insufficiency. In this review article, we will consider and evaluate the benefits of administering combinations of basal insulin glargine in combination with glucagonlike peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1ra) lixisenatide to one of the most rational treatment regimens for patients with T2DM insulin deficiency and persistent insulin resistance. Also, the article focuses on the variability of glycemia, which according to research can play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and can be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular complications in patients with diabetes. Due to the fact that glycemic control is based on the determination of predominantly glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as a measure of average glucose concentration, it is known that this marker does not accurately reflect glycemic variability, which is characterized by the amplitude, frequency and duration of hypo- and hyperglycemic fluctuations. A fixed combination of insulin preparations glargin 100 and GLP-1ra lixisenatide allows to select individually effective dosage for a patient with type 2 diabetes and obesity, will help to achieve several goals at the same time - from improving glycemic parameters without increasing body weight and without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia, to significantly reduce the need for insulin with its previous use, as well as reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Aims. Basal insulin plus oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) has not been investigated for early intensive antihyperglycemic treatment in people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. This study is aimed at comparing the short-term (over a period of 12 days) effects of basal insulin glargine plus OHAs and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) on glycemic control and beta-cell function in this setting. Methods. An open-label parallel-group study. Newly diagnosed hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥11.1 mmol/L or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥9% (75 mmol/mol) were randomized to CSII or insulin glargine in combination with metformin and gliclazide. The primary outcome measure was the mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), and secondary endpoints included time to reach glycemic control target (FPG < 7 mmol/L and 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose < 10 mmol/L), markers of β-cell function, and hypoglycemia. Results. Subjects in the CSII (n=35) and basal insulin plus OHA (n=33) groups had a similar significant reduction from baseline to end of treatment in glycated albumin (−6.44 ± 3.23% and− 6.42 ± 3.56%, P=0.970). Groups A and B have comparable time to glycemic control (3.6 ± 1.2 days and 4.0 ± 1.4 days), MAGE (3.40 ± 1.40 mmol/L vs. 3.16 ± 1.38 mmol/L; p=0.484), and 24-hour mean blood glucose (7.49 ± 0.96 mmol/L vs. 7.02 ± 1.03 mmol/L). Changes in the C-peptide reactivity index, the secretory unit of islet in transplantation index, and insulin secretion-sensitivity index-2 indicated a greater β-cell function improvement with basal insulin plus OHAs versus CSII. Conclusions. Short-term insulin glargine plus OHAs may be an alternative to CSII for initial intensive therapy in people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
