ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
BEYOND 7 demonstrated that a higher starting dose (0.3 U/kg) of insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100) is as safe as the standard starting dose (0.2 U/kg) in Chinese individuals with type 2 diabetes who had uncontrolled hyperglycaemia despite receiving oral antihyperglycaemic drugs. This post hoc analysis determined the effect of baseline characteristics on hypoglycaemia risk in these individuals.METHODS:
Participants from BEYOND 7 were assessed based on their age at baseline (< 60 vs. ≥ 60 years), duration of diabetes (< 10 vs. ≥ 10 years), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c; < 9 vs. ≥ 9%) and fasting plasma glucose level (FPG; < 11 vs. ≥ 11 mmol/L). Endpoints included the proportion of participants with overall confirmed (≤ 3.9 mmol/L) and symptomatic hypoglycaemia, as well as the proportion of participants who achieved an HbA1c < 7% without hypoglycaemia, the time to first achievement of fasting blood glucose (FBG) < 7 mmol/L and the change in HbA1c from baseline between the two treatment arms in each of these subgroups.RESULTS:
The proportion of participants with overall confirmed (6.1-16.7%) or symptomatic hypoglycaemia (5.7-18.4%) or the proportion who achieved HbA1c < 7.0% without hypoglycaemia (23.6-47.4%) was similar between the two treatment arms in all subgroups, with the exception of participants with a baseline duration of diabetes ≥ 10 years who experienced more symptomatic hypoglycaemia if initiating Gla-100 at a dose of 0.3 versus 0.2 U/kg. Participants aged < 60 years with an HbA1c < 9% or ≥ 9% or a duration of diabetes of 2-10 years achieved an FBG < 7.0 mmol/L in a significantly shorter time with Gla-100 starting dose of 0.3 U/kg versus 0.2 U/kg (all p < 0.001). No significant differences were seen among the subgroups in terms of change from baseline in HbA1c.CONCLUSIONS:
Baseline age, duration of diabetes, HbA1c level and FPG level do not affect the risk of hypoglycaemia with a higher starting dose of Gla-100 versus its standard starting dose. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02836704.
