Comparison on Efficacy and Safety of Three Inpatient Insulin Therapy in Type2 DM

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
Interventions
Drug: regular insulin
Drug: 70/30 insulin
Drug: glulisine
Registration Number
NCT01855243
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

Purpose: To compare efficacy and safety of traditional sliding scale insulin (SSI) versus modified 70/30 insulin versus modified basal plus supplemental scale /bolus insulin regimens for glycemic control in hospitalized diabetic patients with diabetes.

Methods: In a prospective trial, patients with diabetes will be randomized to receive either traditional hospital SSI , or twice daily 70/30 insulin plus supplemental lunchtime insulin for BG ≥ 150 mg/dL or once every night glargine plus three times prandial glulisine for BG ≥ 150 mg/dL . 70/30 insulin and glargine will be started respectively at 0.4 and 0.2 U/kg/day for BG ≤ 200 mg/dL or 0.5 and 0.3 U/kg/day for BG above 200 mg/dL.

70/30 insulin plus supplemental lunch insulinregular insulinModified split-mixed insulin protocol adopted by Umpierrez et al., will be applied to patients treated with 70/30 insulin. Insulin dose will be started at 0.4 U/kg/day for admission BG less than 200 mg/dL or 0.5 U/kg/day for BG above 200 mg/dL. Two thirds of total daily dose (TDD)will be given before breakfast and 1/3 of TDD before dinner. Supplemental lunchtime regular insulin dose will given for BG \> 150 mg/dL . Patients previously treated with 70/30 insulin before admission initially will receivethe same regimen as at in home.

Sliding Scale insulin (SSI)regular insulinFor SSI group, regular insulin will be administered three times daily subcutaneously approximately 30 min before meal for BG \> 150 mg/dL (or every 8 hours if a patient was not eating) according to hospital sliding scale table
glargine plus supplemental glulisineglulisinePatients who will be recruited to be treated with glargine/glulisine, will received 50% of TDD as detailed demonstrated in Umpierrez et al., studies . as This includes administration of glargine (Lantus®) once every night plus glulisine (Apidra®) before each meal for BG ≥ 150 mg/dL. Glargine dose will be calculated as 0.2 U/kg/day for admission BG less than 200 mg/dL or 0.3 U/kg/day for BG exceeding 200 mg/dL. Glargine was given using Solostar Flex-Pen® once daily in the evening around 8:00 pm. Glulisine was given using the Solostar Flex-Pen® three times just before the meals for BG \> 150 mg/dL according to hospital sliding scale. To avoid hypoglycemia, if for any reason, a subject missed a meal, the dose of glulisine will be held.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Daily Blood Glucose (BG) Concentration During Their Hospital Stay.during hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks
Mean BG After First Day of Hospitalizationafter first day of hospitalization
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mortality Rateduring the hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks
Number of Patients Developed Hypoglycemic Eventsduring hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks

Hypoglycemic episodes are classified as major (BG ≤ 40 mg/dL or associated with impaired mental status or loss of consciousness), or minor (BG between 40 and 59 mg/dL) events.

Number of Patients Developed Episodes of Severe Hyperglycemiaduring hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks

Hyperglycemic events are defined as BG \> 300 mg/dL.
