Abstract
Despite the continuously growing number of therapeutic options for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a large percentage of these individuals fail to achieve their glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) target. The aim of this study was to determine the change in metabolic control in insulin-naïve T2DM patients inadequately controlled with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) at 6 months after initiating basal insulin treatment as add-on to existing OADs. This was a non-interventional prospective study conducted from June 2013 to December 2014 in 137 centers in the Czech Republic under routine clinical practice conditions. Adult patients whose diabetes was uncontrolled on their current OAD treatment (HbA1c ≥ 53 mmol/mol; Diabetes Control and Complications Trial [DCCT]-HbA1c 7%) and whose physician had decided to initiate treatment on a basal insulin regimen were documented over a 6-month period beginning from the time of initiation of basal insulin treatment. Overall, 1426 T2DM patients were included in the study, of whom 53% were male. The mean age of the study population was 63.8 ± 10.1 years, mean body mass index was 31.5 ± 5.3 kg/m2, and mean duration of diabetes was 10.2 ± 5.3 years. At the 6-month follow-up, the target HbA1c l...Continue Reading
