    Abstract:
    Basal insulin therapy often involves a compromise between achievement of glycaemic targets and avoidance of hypoglycaemia, dependent on how intensively insulin is titrated. In the Phase 3a EDITION 1, 2 and 3 studies, insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) provided glycaemic control equivalent to that of insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100), with less hypoglycaemia in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The current study evaluated the rates of confirmed (≤3.9 mmol/L [≤70 mg/dL]) or severe hypoglycaemia over six months of treatment with Gla-300 or Gla-100 in the EDITION studies, as a function of HbA1c. Analysis was performed on patient-level data pooled from the three EDITION studies, and annualized hypoglycaemia rate as a function of HbA1c at Month 6 was fitted using a negative binomial regression model. Participants treated with Gla-300 experienced a consistently lower rate of confirmed (≤3.9 mmol/L [≤70 mg/dL]) or severe hypoglycaemia as compared with those treated with Gla-100, regardless of HbA1c at Month 6. Results suggest that treatment with Gla-300 vs Gla-100 could allow individuals with T2DM to achieve equivalent glycaemic control with less hypoglycaemia.
