Hba1c Levels

The present study included patients presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) of less than 10 years in duration having the HbA1c levels between 7.0% and 10.0%. They were treated with insulin detemir (once or twice daily) in combination with oral hypoglycemic agents (OHGA) and transferred thereafter to therapy with insulin glargine (Lantus, SoloSTAR) administered once daily. The patients were advised to adjust the dose of insulin glargine in order to achieve the desired fasting blood glucose level (FBGL) below 5.6 mmol/l. The HbA1c levels and FBGL, insulin doses, body weight, frequency of hypoglycemic episodes and adverse reactions were measured within 3 and 6 months after inclusion in the study; simultaneously, the patients and doctors' satisfaction with the treatment was estimated. A total of 915 patients were available for the examination (mean age 57.9±9.2 years, mean duration of DM2 5.9±2.3 years, average BMI 31.0±5.1 kg/m2). The number of the patients presenting with the HbA1c levels below 7% within 6 months after the onset of therapy amounted to 46.5% of the total. During the same period, percentage of the patients experiencing nocturnal and daytime glycemic episodes decreased. No cases of severe hypoglycemia were documented. Moreover, the body weight of the patients somewhat decreased (by 0.9±2.9 kg; p<0.001) by the 6 month. The majority of the patients and their doctors reported the effects of described therapy as "good" or "very good". It is concluded that the substitution of the treatment with insulin detemir in combination with OHGA by therapy with insulin glargine in the patients with DM2 and suboptimal glycemic control under conditions of the routine clinical practice may improve the quality of glycemic control without a substantial body weight gain and with the low frequency of hypoglycemic episodes.

Abstract Background This study investigates the cost-effectiveness of insulin degludec (degludec) versus biosimilar insulin glargine U100 (glargine U100) in patients with type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Bulgaria.Methods A simple, short-term model was used to compare the treatment costs and outcomes associated with hypoglycaemic events with degludec versus glargine U100 in patients with T1DM and T2DM from the perspective of the Bulgarian National Health Insurance Fund. Cost-effectiveness was analysed over a 1-year time horizon using data from clinical trials. The outcome measure was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER).Results Degludec was highly cost-effective versus glargine U100 in people with T1DM and T2DM in Bulgaria. The ICERs were estimated to be 4,493.68 BGN/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) in T1DM, 399.11 BGN/QALY in T2DM on basal oral therapy (T2DM BOT ) and 7,365.22 BGN/QALY in T2DM on basal bolus therapy (T2DM B/B ), which all fall below the cost-effectiveness threshold of 39,619 BGN in Bulgaria. Insulin costs were higher with degludec in all three patient groups, however these were partially offset by savings from a reduction in hypoglycaemic events with degludec versus glargine U100. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the results were robust and largely insensitive to variations in input parameters. At a willingness-to-pay threshold of 39,619 BGN/QALY, the probability of degludec being cost-effective versus glargine U100 was 60.0% in T1DM, 99.4% in T2DM BOT and 91.3% in T2DM B/B .Conclusion Degludec is a cost-effective alternative to biosimilar glargine U100 for patients with T1DM and T2DM in Bulgaria. Degludec could be of particular benefit to those patients suffering recurrent hypoglycaemia and those who require additional flexibility in the dosing of insulin.
