Adoption of Gla-100 in India and its Impact on Insulin Usage Patterns. J Assoc Physicians India. 2020 Dec;68(12[Special]):25-30 Authors: Modi KD, Jha S, Banzal S, Bandopadhyay B, Ramchandani GD, Atluri S, Kumar RV, Kunder SK, Unnikrishnan R, Mohan V Abstract Fueled by perceptions regarding Indian dietary patterns and premixed insulin's claim to fame of providing dual fasting and post-prandial control, there was a greater inclination towards using premixed insulins in clinical practice until the last decade. However, the advent of insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100) opened up a new dimension in insulin therapy landscape in India. The data from the last 5 years reveal that Gla-100 has gained more traction among Indian clinical practitioners. Basis evidences that have emerged from various clinical studies, this present review elaborates on certain key issues which have helped Gla-100 carve its own niche and effected a progressive shift in insulin prescription pattern in India.
