DCCT-EDIC: Long-term Risk of Macrovascular Complications At the end of the randomized treatment phase in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, the research group found a difference in the concentration of hemoglobin A 1c between the patients with type 1 diabetes in the intensive treatment group and those in the conventional treatment group. At the end of the trial, there was a nonsignificant reduction in cardiovascular outcome in the intensively treated group. The trial ended at approximately 9 years; afterward, there was convergence of treatments and similar levels of glycemic control were achieved. There was persistent benefit, however, among the intensively treated group such that there was a statistically significant reduction in cardiovascular disease when compared to the conventionally treated group in the follow-up phase (up to 20 years) of the study. These data would indicate that 10 years of intensive treatment yielded a cardiovascular benefit during the first 10 years that was sustained and became greater in the follow-up phase. During the DCCT/EDIC follow-up period, intensive treatment reduced the risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular disease by 42 percent (95 percent confidence interval, 9 to 63 percent; P=0.02).

The natural history of type 2 diabetes is progressive and complex. Increasing insulin resistance characterizes the prediabetic state. When β - cells function well, insulin resistance results in compensatory hyperinsulinemia, which maintains relatively normal glucose metabolism. In this compensated, insulin-resistant state, individuals may have either normal glucose tolerance or IGT but not diabetes. Eventually, the β -cells begin to fail, and insulin secretion falls, resulting in postprandial hyperglycemia and further loss of insulin secretion. Fasting hyperglycemia and hepatic overproduction of glucose then occur, resulting in overt diabetes, which may or may not be diagnosed in a timely manner. This process typically begins 4 to 7 years prior to diabetes diagnosis.1 Importantly, although early type 2 diabetes may be asymptomatic, evidence suggests that the degree of associated hyperglycemia may be severe enough for microvascular complications of diabetes to begin to develop.1 • β -cell function declines progressively in type 2 diabetes • The deterioration of β -cell function can precede the diagnosis of diabetes Analyses of the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), a randomized, controlled trial conducted with 5102 patients, demonstrated that type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease marked by declining β -cell function. Moreover, the rate of decline does not differ regardless of the therapy used to control hyperglycemia. An extrapolation of the observed rate of decline in β -cell function, as evaluated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA), suggests that patients ’ loss of function began approximately 10 to 12 years before type 2 diabetes was diagnosed. As the graph indicates, by the time of diagnosis, β -cell function was impaired to the point of <50% of normal functioning.1,2
Slide 6 Insulin Glargine vs NPH Insulin Added to Oral Therapy The purpose of this study was to evaluate basal insulin glargine vs the currently used basal insulin, NPH insulin, in combination with oral therapy to determine if an insulin with smoother basal characteristics (no pronounced peak of activity) would provide better glycemic control and less frequency of nocturnal hypoglycemia The role of insulin glargine was also evaluated in restoring glycemic control in patients inadequately controlled on OHA Riddle MC, Rosenstock J, HOE901/4002 Study Group. Diabetes. 2002;51(suppl 2):A113. Abstract 457-P OBJECTIVE: To compare the abilities and associated hypoglycemia risks of insulin glargine and human NPH insulin added to oral therapy of type 2 diabetes to achieve 7% HbA(1c). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In a randomized, open-label, parallel, 24-week multicenter trial, 756 overweight men and women with inadequate glycemic control (HbA(1c) >7.5%) on one or two oral agents continued prestudy oral agents and received bedtime glargine or NPH once daily, titrated using a simple algorithm seeking a target fasting plasma glucose (FPG) <or=100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/l). Outcome measures were FPG, HbA(1c), hypoglycemia, and percentage of patients reaching HbA(1c) <or=7% without documented nocturnal hypoglycemia. RESULTS: Mean FPG at end point was similar with glargine and NPH (117 vs. 120 mg/dl [6.5 vs. 6.7 mmol/l]), as was HbA(1c) (6.96 vs. 6.97%). A majority of patients ( approximately 60%) attained HbA(1c) <or=7% with each insulin type. However, nearly 25% more patients attained this without documented nocturnal hypoglycemia (<or=72 mg/dl [4.0 mmol/l]) with glargine (33.2 vs. 26.7%, P < 0.05). Moreover, rates of other categories of symptomatic hypoglycemia were 21-48% lower with glargine. CONCLUSIONS: Systematically titrating bedtime basal insulin added to oral therapy can safely achieve 7% HbA(1c) in a majority of overweight patients with type 2 diabetes with HbA(1c) between 7.5 and 10.0% on oral agents alone. In doing this, glargine causes significantly less nocturnal hypoglycemia than NPH, thus reducing a leading barrier to initiating insulin. This simple regimen may facilitate earlier and effective insulin use in routine medical practice, improving achievement of recommended standards of diabetes care.
Slide 8 Insulin Glargine vs NPH Insulin Added to Oral Therapy The forced-titration schedule with basal insulin (either NPH or glargine) is described here. Patients self-monitored their FPG for 2 consecutive days in which they suffered no episodes of hypoglycemia. Based on these results, insulin levels were titrated until patients reached a target FPG of 100 mg/dL Hypoglycemia was considered severe if measured by the patient to be 72 mg/dL. Patients with self-monitored glucose levels <56 mg/dL were allowed small decreases (2 – 4 IU/day) of insulin to adjust their FPG levels Riddle MC, Rosenstock J, HOE901/4002 Study Group. Diabetes. 2002;51(suppl 2):A113. Abstract 457-P
Slide 12 Insulin Glargine vs NPH Insulin Added to Oral Therapy This study provided evidence that both insulin treatments improved glycemic control, reducing FPG and A1C 57% of patients in each group reached target A1C 7% Insulin glargine – treated patients showed a significantly lower risk for nocturnal hypoglycemia (fewer patients and fewer events) Severe hypoglycemia was uncommon in both study groups ( P =NS), as measured by PG <56 mg/dL Riddle MC, Rosenstock J, HOE901/4002 Study Group.

For all measures, P<0.001, with values adjusted for baseline values (except hypoglycemia), center, baseline glycated hemoglobin level, and oral antidiabetic therapy where appropriate. Missing data were imputed with the use of a multiple-imputation technique.14 To convert the values for glucose to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.05551.
The advantages of rapid-acting analogs include: Convenient administration immediately before meals Limitation of post-prandial hyperglycemic peaks Predictable with less variability than human insulin. However, when using a rapid-acting insulin, basal insulin replacement is required for most patients.
The Basal-Bolus Principle: Adding Mealtime Control The basal-bolus principle is the concept of using a long-acting insulin for basal (FPG) control, as well as a rapid-acting insulin to cover mealtime (PPG) control
