Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if treatment with Glargine U300 when compared to Glargine U100 will result in similar sugar control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), who are admitted to the hospital and then transition at home, after discharge from the hospital.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Glargine U300
  • Drug: Glargine U100
  • Drug: Glulisine Insulin
Phase 4

Detailed Description

Several randomized clinical trials done previously in medicine and surgical patients with T2D have shown that basal bolus regimen with glargine results in a lower mean daily blood glucose (BG) concentrations compared to the sole use of sliding scale regular insulin (SSI) and in lower rate of hospital complications. Glargine U300 results in similar improvement but in lower rate of hypoglycemia than treatment with glargine U100. No previous studies; however, have compared the efficacy and safety of glargine U300 in the management of hyperglycemia and diabetes in the hospital setting. This study will determine if treatment with glargine U300 has a similar glucose control in patients with diabetes admitted to the hospital and if glargine U300 will result in lower number of low blood sugars compared to glargine U100 .

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Basal bolus insulin with glargine U300 and glulisine insulin

Subjects treated with insulin prior to admission will receive 80% of the total daily dose (TDD) given as basal bolus insulin regimen with glargine U300 once daily plus rapid-acting glulisine insulin before meals. In insulin-naïve subjects treated with oral agents, the oral antidiabetic drugs will be discontinued and the bolus insulin dose described above will be given. Half of TDD will be given as glargine U300 and half as glulisine. To prevent hypoglycemia, if a subject is not able to eat, the dose of glulisine will be held.

Drug: Glargine U300
Glargine U300 is a new generation long-acting insulin.
Other Names:
  • Toujeo
  • Drug: Glulisine Insulin
    Glulisine is a mealtime insulin taken either 15 minutes before or 20 minutes after a meal.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Daily Blood Glucose Concentration Inpatient [up to 10 days (day of hospital discharge)]

      The mean daily blood glucose concentration for all participants will be calculated by taking the average of all pre-meal and bedtime glucose values collected each day after the first day of therapy during the hospital stay.

    2. Mean Daily Blood Glucose Concentration After Hospital Discharge [assessed from day 11 (day after hospital discharge) up to 3 months]

      Subjects will measure their blood sugar levels at home by finger stick before meals two or three times per day and record the readings in a diary. The readings will be averaged for each day and the mean daily blood glucose concentration will be calculated.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Admission HbA1c Lower Than 8% [up to 3 months post enrollment]

      Glycemic control will be measured by mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with HbA1c lower than 8% at admission. The average of all pre-meal and bedtime glucose values will be calculated.

    2. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Admission HbA1c Higher Than 8% [up to 3 months post enrollment]

      Mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with HbA1c higher than 8% at admission will be recorded

    3. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Length of Stay Shorter Than 3 Days [Up to 3 days]

      Glycemic control will be conducted by measuring mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with length of hospital stay shorter than 3 days

    4. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Length of Stay Shorter Than 5 Days [Up to 5 days]

      Glycemic control will be conducted by measuring mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with length of hospital stay shorter than 5 days

    5. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Length of Stay Longer Than 5 Days [Up to 10 days]

      Glycemic control will be measured by mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with length of hospital stay longer than 5 days. The average of daily pre-meal and bedtime glucose values will be calculated.

    6. Percent of Blood Glucose 70-180 Measured by Point of Care Test [3 months post enrollment]

      Percent of Blood Glucose Readings in the 70-180 mg/dL Range Measured by Point of Care Test

    7. Percent of Subjects With Hypoglycemic Events [3 months post enrollment]

      Percent of of subjects with hypoglycemic events (BG < 70 mg/dl) will be recorded.

    8. Percent of Subjects With Severe Hypoglycemia [3 months post enrollment]

      Percent of subjects experiencing severe hypoglycemia (BG <54 mg/dl) will be recorded.

    9. Number of Days of Hospital Stay [Up to 10 days]

      The number of days of hospital stay for each subject will be recorded.

    10. Number Subjects With Cardiac Complications [3 months post enrollment]

      The number of subjects experiencing cardiac cardiac complications will be recorded.

    11. Number of Patients With Acute Renal Failure [3 months post enrollment]

      The number of subjects with a clinical diagnosis with documented new-onset abnormal renal function (increment in serum creatinine > 0.5 mg/dL from baseline).

    12. Hospital Mortality [During hospital stay - up to 10 days]
