Stepwise Intensification: 1-2-3 Study Design Group 1:GLAR + OADs + 1GLU Poorly controlled on OADs (N=785) A1C >7.0% (n=343) N=113 Group 2: GLAR + OADs + 2GLU Switched to GLAR for 14 weeks Group 3: GLAR + OADs + 3GLU N=115 Randomization and 24 week F/U Multicenter, open-label, randomized, 3-arm, parallel-group (1:1:1) study in adult patients with T2DM On a stable dose of 2 or 3 OADs (rosiglitazone reduced from 8mg to 4mg per label) Had an A1C >8.0% at screening visit 14-week run-in treatment phase Added insulin glargine to current OAD regimen Insulin glargine initiated at 10 U/d and titrated every 2 days to target FG 70-109 mg/dL Patients with A1C >7.0% at end of run-in were randomized to receive prandial injections of insulin glulisine Randomized treatment phase 3 arms: Insulin glargine + insulin glulisine before The meal with greatest glycemic index (1) The 2 meals with greatest glycemic index (2) All 3 meals (3) Insulin glulisine was administered 0-15 minutes before meals Initial glulisine dose was 1/10th of the glargine does at randomization Weekly titration to target PPG 70-109 mg/dL and HS level 70-129 mg/dL Insulin glulisine was administered 0-15 minutes before greatest glycemic index meal Initial glulisine dose was 1/10th of the glargine does at randomization Weekly titration to target PPG 70-109 mg/dL and HS level 70-129 mg/dL OADs were continued. GLAR = insulin glargine; GLU = insulin glulisine; OADs=oral antidiabetic agents. Davidson MB et al. Endocr Pract. February 16, 2011. 3 3
A1C Change From Baseline to Week 24 Following 14-week run-in with insulin glargine Mean A1C decreased from >10.0% to ~8.0% 288 patients achieved A1C 7.0% Final dose was 0.55 U/kg regardless of reaching target Figure 3 mITT = modified intent to treat. Davidson MB et al. Endocr Pract 2011
Characteristics of Available Basal Insulin Analogs Benefits over NPH Longer duration of action Less variability Less weight gain Less hypoglycemia Room for Improvement More consistent 24+ hour coverage Flat time-action profile Less day-to-day variability Less weight gain Less hypoglycemia More suppression of hepatic glucose production FXCX: Simon pdf in Zotero Grunberger pef in Zotero Simon ACR.

High concentration glargine (U300)* U300 insulin glargine offers a smaller depot surface area leading to a reduced rate of absorption Provides a flatter and prolonged pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles and more consistency Half-life is ~23 hours Steady state in 4 days Duration of action ≤36 hours FXCX: Simon pdf in Zotero Grunberger pef in Zotero *Not FDA approved Garber AJ.
