Basal-bolus and Premixed Insulin Regimens in Hospitalized Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (PININ Study)

Phase 4
Terminated
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02333851
Lead Sponsor
Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias
Brief Summary

Pilot study to compare the efficacy and safety of a premixed-insulin regimen (70% intermediate insulin and 30% regular insulin) to a basal-bolus insulin regimen (glargine once daily and glulisine before meals) hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Pilot, randomized, prospective, open-label study admitted to the Hospital with a previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or with a blood glucose level on admission greater than 180 mg/dl.

Patients were randomized to receive a premixed human insulin formulation with 70% intermediate insulin plus 30% regular insulin (Mixtard 30®, Novo Nordisk) or a basal-bolus regimen with glargine once daily and glulisine before meals (Lantus® and Apidra®, Sanofi-Aventis).

The primary outcome of the study was to determine differences in glycemic control between treatment groups as measured by mean daily blood glucose concentration during the hospital stay. Secondary objectives were to determine differences in the percentage of glucose measures between 80 and 180 mg/dl, frequency and severity of hypoglycemic events, total daily insulin use, length of hospital stay and glycemic viability between groups.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences in mean daily blood glucose concentrationParticipants will be followe for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

Glucose concentration were measured in capillary blood 6 times a day, before and 2 hours after meals and daily mean calculated

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total daily Insulin use in International Units per Kg of weightParticipants will be followe for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks
Number and severity of hypoglycemia episodesParticipants will be followe for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

Frequency and severity of hypoglycemia episodes during all the stay in the hospital

Measures of dispersion of glycemia values (Glycemia variability)Participants will be followe for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

Glycemia variability will be measured by standard deviation of blood glucose values, coefficient of variation and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions or MAGE.
