RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

Evaluar la eficacia y la seguridad del cambio de insulina NPH a insulina glargina en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) atendidos en atención primaria. MATERIAL Y

MÉTODOS:

Estudio observacional retrospectivo. Cuarenta y seis médicos de atención primaria registraron la información clínica de pacientes tratados previamente con insulina NPH que cambiaron a glargina o siguieron con NPH a los 3-9 meses después de la visita de inclusión (diseño de inclusión glargina 2NPH 1).

RESULTADOS:

Se analizaron 122 pacientes del grupo glargina y 57 del grupo NPH (edad 67,0 [± 9,8] años, 51,4% varones). Entre la visita inicial y la final se observaron reducciones de HbA1c de 1,07 (± 0,93)% vs 0,28 (± 0,67)% (p < 0,001), y de glucemia en ayunas de 38,4 (± 37,0) vs 15,7 (± 28,6) mg/dl (p < 0,001), entre ambos grupos. Se observó un control inadecuado (HbA1c ≥ 7%) en la visita final en el 61,3% vs 76,8% de los pacientes, respectivamente (p = 0,044). Los porcentajes de pacientes que experimentaron alguna hipoglucemia o hipoglucemias nocturnas durante el mes previo a la visita final fueron 6,6% vs 43,9% (p < 0,001) y 2,5% vs 21,1% (p < 0,001), respectivamente. Las variables asociadas a un buen control glucémico fueron unos valores basales de HbA1c y glucemia en ayunas más bajos, y el cambio a insulina glargina. El principal motivo para el cambio fue la ventaja de la inyección única diaria.

CONCLUSIONES:

Los pacientes con DM2 atendidos en atención primaria que cambian de insulina NPH a glargina presentan una mejora significativa del control glucémico y una menor frecuencia de hipoglucemias totales y nocturnas
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To assess the efficacy and safety of insulin Glargine in the Primary Care setting for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) previously treated with NPH insulin. MATERIAL AND

METHODS:

This was an observational retrospective study, with 46 participating Primary Care physicians, who recorded the clinical information of patients treated with NPH insulin and who switched to insulin Glargine or continued on NPH for 3-9 months (inclusion design 2 Glargine1 NPH).

RESULTS:

A total of 122 patients in the Glargine group, and 57 patients in the NPH insulin group were evaluated; the patients had a mean age of 67.0 (9.8) years, and 51.4% were males. A difference in HbA1c reduction was seen when comparing the Glargine and NPH groups 1.07 (0.93)% vs. 0.28 (0.67)%, respectively (P < 0.001); fasting plasma glucose reductions were 38.4 (37.0) mg/dl vs. 15.7 (28.6) mg/dl, respectively (P < 0.001). Inadequate control (HbA1c ≥ 7%) at final visit was noted in 61.3% vs. 76.8% of patients (P = 0.028), respectively. Total hypoglycemic and nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes within one month prior to final visit were 6.6% vs. 43.9%, and 2.5% vs. 21.1%, respectively (P < 0.001). The variables associated with better glycemic control were lower baseline HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose values, and the switch to Glargine. The main reason for change was the advantage of one injection a day.

CONCLUSION:

Patients with DM2 who are treated with NPH insulin in Primary Care and switch to Glargine show better glycemic control and experience fewer total and nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes
