Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus | Drug: Mixtard 30:70 Novonordisk® twice daily Drug: Lantus® once daily and Apidra® before meals | Phase 4 |
Pilot, randomized, prospective, open-label study admitted to the Hospital with a previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or with a blood glucose level on admission greater than 180 mg/dl.
Patients were randomized to receive a premixed human insulin formulation with 70% intermediate insulin plus 30% regular insulin (Mixtard 30®, Novo Nordisk) or a basal-bolus regimen with glargine once daily and glulisine before meals (Lantus® and Apidra®, Sanofi-Aventis).
The primary outcome of the study was to determine differences in glycemic control between treatment groups as measured by mean daily blood glucose concentration during the hospital stay. Secondary objectives were to determine differences in the percentage of glucose measures between 80 and 180 mg/dl, frequency and severity of hypoglycemic events, total daily insulin use, length of hospital stay and glycemic viability between groups.

- Differences in mean daily blood glucose concentration [ Time Frame: Participants will be followe for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks ]Glucose concentration were measured in capillary blood 6 times a day, before and 2 hours after meals and daily mean calculated
- Number and severity of hypoglycemia episodes [ Time Frame: Participants will be followe for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks ]Frequency and severity of hypoglycemia episodes during all the stay in the hospital
- Measures of dispersion of glycemia values (Glycemia variability) [ Time Frame: Participants will be followe for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks ]Glycemia variability will be measured by standard deviation of blood glucose values, coefficient of variation and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions or MAGE.
- Total daily Insulin use in International Units per Kg of weight [ Time Frame: Participants will be followe for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks ]
