Abstract
To compare hemoglobin A1c (A1C) values at baseline with those after 1 year of insulin glargine therapy and, secondarily, to compare insulin dosage and patients' body weight at baseline and at 1 year. Retrospective study. Private endocrinology practice. One hundred ninety-seven patients with diabetes mellitus who were first prescribed insulin glargine from May 2001-April 2002 and were evaluable after 1 year of therapy Patients received insulin glargine instead of NPH insulin or in addition to their oral drug therapy Patients with diabetes type 1 (receiving insulin therapy) or type 2 (receiving oral drug therapy only, a combination of oral drug therapy and insulin, or insulin only) who had been treated with insulin glargine for 1 year were evaluated. Overall, A1C values decreased significantly (p<0.001) by 0.53 +/- 1.4% from a baseline mean of 8.1 +/- 1.7%. In 129 patients with type 2 diabetes previously treated with NPH insulin, A1C decreased significantly (p<0.001) 0.57 +/- 1.5% from baseline. The A1C decreased by 0.71 +/- 1.3% (p=0.0043) from baseline in 33 patients with type 2 diabetes who previously received oral agents only Thirty-five patients with type 1 diabetes demonstrated no significant change in A1C (-0.22 +/- 1.0%, ...Continue Reading
