Similar glucose control with basal-bolus regimen of insulin detemir plus insulin aspart and thrice-daily biphasic insulin aspart 30 in insulin-naive patients with type 2 diabetes: Results of a 50-week randomized clinical trial of stepwise insulin intensification.
CONCLUSION: Insulin initiation and intensification using IDet+IAsp was not inferior to BIAsp1-2-3 in insulin-naive patients with T2DM not controlled by OGLDs. Both regimens led to similar reductions in HbA1c values after 50 weeks of treatment. PMID: 25483023 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Diabetes and Metabolism)

Therapeutically interchangeable? A study of real‐world outcomes associated with switching basal insulin analogues among US patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using electronic medical records data
ConclusionsThis study showed contrasting results when patients with T2DM switch between basal insulin analogs, although these preliminary results may be subject to limitations in the analysis. Nevertheless, this study questions the therapeutic interchangeability of GLA and DET, and calls for further investigations. (Source: Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)

A Comparison of 1-Year Treatment Costs in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Following Initiation of Insulin Glargine or Insulin Detemir in Argentina
Conclusions From a payer’s perspective in Argentina, cost savings related to the use of IG represented one third of total treatment costs. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these results. (Source: Value in Health Regional Issues)

Open Flow Microperfusion: Pharmacokinetics of human insulin and insulin detemir in the interstitial fluid of subcutaneous adipose tissue
ConclusionsBy using OFM we were able to monitor albumin bound insulin detemir directly in the interstitial fluid of subcutaneous tissue and confirm its delayed transendothelial passage to a peripheral site of action. (Source: Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)

Weight‐neutral effect of once‐daily insulin detemir in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients: Subgroup analysis of the SOLVE study

Long-Acting Insulin Analogues and Diabetic Retinopathy: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Abstract PURPOSE: Long-acting insulin analogues were developed to facilitate consistent glycemic control without excessive hypoglycemia. However, structural modifications of the insulin molecule can alter biological responses and binding characteristics with specific receptors. The aim of this study was to estimate the risk of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) associated with treatment using long-acting insulin analogues compared with intermediate-acting insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: A retrospective cohort consisting of patients with T2DM aged 20 yea...

Lower risk of hypoglycaemia and greater odds for weight loss with initiation of insulin detemir compared with insulin glargine in Turkish patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: local results of a multinational observational study
Conclusions: Initiation of basal insulin analogues, IDet and IGlar, were associated with clinically significant glycaemic improvements. A lower risk of minor hypoglycaemia and greater odds of weight loss >=1 kg was observed with IDet compared with IGlar.Trial registration: NCT00825643 and NCT00740519 (Source: BMC Endocrine Disorders)

Increased Risk of Severe Hypoglycemic Events with Increasing Frequency of Non-severe Hypoglycemic Events in Patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Conclusion A statistically significant association between NSHE and SHE frequency was found in T1DM and T2DM. These data provide a clear rationale for the reduction of hypoglycemic events, regardless of severity, while striving for optimal glycemic control. (Source: Diabetes Therapy)

Higher insulin detemir doses are required for the similar glycemic control: comparison of insulin detemir and glargine in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus
ConclusionInsulin detemir provides similar glycemic control with glargine, but, approximately 27% higher mean basal and 19% higher mean total insulin doses with two‐fold more twice‐daily basal insulin injection requirement. (Source: Pediatric Diabetes)
