Primary Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of the association Lantus (once-a-day, od) Apidra (thrice-a-day, tid) in terms of change HbA1c from baseline to end of study (week 24), in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).
Secondary Objectives:
To evaluate:
- The change of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to week 12
- The percentage of patients with HbA1c < 7% at week 12 and week 24
- The FBG and the 7-point self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) at baseline, week 12 and week 24
- The daily dose for both insulin glulisine insulin glargine at baseline, week 12 and week 24
- The incidence of symptomatic hypoglycemias
- Adverse events

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Insulin glargine + insulin glulisine
Insulin glargine dosage will be individually titrated once a week to obtain FPG 80-120 mg/dL (4.5-6.7 mmol/L). Insulin glulisine dosage will be individually titrated once a week to obtain a 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) < 180 mg/dL (<10.0 mmol/L) and ideally around 140 mg/dL. |
Drug: INSULIN GLARGINE
Pharmaceutical form: solution for injection Route of administration: sub-cutaneous Dose regimen: once a day at bedtime
Other Name: Lantus SoloStar Drug: INSULIN GLULISINE Pharmaceutical form: solution for injection Route of administration: sub-cutaneous Dose regimen: three times a day, preferably just before the meal
Other Name: Apidra SoloStar |
