Comparison of glycemic variability in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes receiving insulin degludec versus insulin detemir using continuous glucose monitoring: a randomized, cross-over, pilot study.

CONCLUSIONS: A CGM-based comparison demonstrated that once-daily IDeg showed fewer glycemic fluctuations than twice-daily IDet. IDeg appears to stabilize blood glucose levels better during both daytime and nighttime (particularly, before and after breakfast) with a lower insulin dosage. PMID: 28234565 [PubMed - in process]
