A(1c) control in a primary care setting: self-titrating an insulin analog pre-mix (INITIATEplus trial).

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To study glycemic control and hypoglycemia development upon initiation of insulin through a self-titration schedule in a 24-week trial, conducted with 4875 insulin-naïve patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, predominantly in a ... Read more...

Three-year efficacy of complex insulin regimens in type 2 diabetes.

20 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Evidence supporting the addition of specific insulin regimens to oral therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is limited. METHODS: In this 3-year open-label, multicenter trial, we evaluated 708 patients who had suboptimal ... Read more...

Pharmacotherapy of hyperglycemia.

29 Sep 2009 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, progressive disorder that affects more than 230 million people worldwide and is expected to affect 366 million by 2030. Both the prevalence of T2DM and the cost of its long term complications has driven ... Read more...
