Key clinical point: In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), initiating or switching to insulin degludec/ aspart (IDegAsp) from other antidiabetic treatments was associated with improved glycemic control, lower basal insulin dose requirement in insulin-experienced patients, and lower rates of hypoglycemia.

 

Major finding: Patients with T2D initiating or switching to IDegAsp had a significant reduction in glycated hemoglobin (estimated difference [Δ] 1.4%; P < .0001), basal insulin dose requirements in insulin-experienced participants (Δ 2.3 units; P  =  .0004), and rates of hypoglycemia (P < .001).

 

Study details: Findings are from a real-world, prospective study including 1102 patients with T2D who initiated or switched to IDegAsp from other antidiabetic treatments.

 

Disclosures: This study was funded by Novo Nordisk. Some authors declared being employees and shareholders of Novo Nordisk. Some authors declared receiving speaker or consulting honoraria, research contracts, and teaching or research sponsorships; being consultants; or serving as advisory board or speaker panel members for various sources, including Novo Nordisk.
