Background
 People aged > 60 years comprise > 40% of the type 2
diabetic population in the U.S, yet identifying the optimal
glucose control level for older patients with diabetes
remains a significant challenge
 Recommended glycemic targets
 A1C <6.5% from American Association of Clinical
Endocrinologists
 A1C <7.0% from the American Diabetes Association
 A1C < 8.0% from geriatric diabetes care guidelines for older
patients with limited life expectancy
 However, there has been limited evidence for any of these
targets of glycemic control for elderly patients
Objective
 To identify the range of glycemic levels associated with
the lowest rates of complications & mortality in older
diabetic patients
Outcomes
 Acute metabolic events
 Hospitalizations for diabetes with other coma

Conclusions
 Observed relationships between A1C & combined end
points support setting a target of A1C< 8.0% for older
patients
 A1C <6.0% were associated with increase mortality risk
 Additional research is needed to evaluate the low A1Cmortality relationship
 Ongoing research on care individualization in the
elderly suggest that life expectancy, comorbid
conditions, patient preferences are important
consideration in glycemic control

Background
 The association between poor glycemic control & the




occurrence of micro-& macrovascular complications has
been demonstrated in patients with type 1 & 2 DM
Tight glycemic control may be associated with greater
frequency of hypoglycemic episodes; however it can have
serious clinical consequences
Consensus opinion on how & when to initiate insulin tx in
patients with type II DM is lacking
In older patients with type 2 DM, it is important that the
insulin regimen be easy to apply, with optimal efficacy &
safety.
Few studies have directly compared the leading methods of
insulin initiation in this population
Objectives
 To compare initiation of insulin therapy by adding
once-daily Lantus to oral antidiabetic agents(OAD)
with premixed insulin alone
Design
 A parallel-group, open-label, randomized,
multinational clinical trial with a 1 to 4 week screening
phase & a 24-week treatment phase
 A 1:1 randomization schedule stratified by center
sequentially assigned treatment codes to eligible
patients
Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria
 Aged 65 & older
 Any additional use of other
 Type II DM for at least 1 year
oral blood glucose-lowering
agents
 Prior use of insulin exceeding
3 days
 A history of ketoacidosis
 Treated with a stable dose of
Sulfonylurea & Metformin for
at least 1 month
 BMI≤ 35 kg/m2
 7.5 ≤A1C ≤10.5
 Fasting blood glucose(FBG)≥ 120mg/dL
Study Protocol & Treatment
 Previous Sulfonylurea therapies were replaced with 3
or 4 mg glimepiride during the screening phase
 Metformin (≥850mg) administered during the study
was provided & taken at the same dose as before study
entry
 The dose of Glimepiride & Metformin remained
unchanged throughout the study
 At the baseline visit, patients were randomly assigned
to insulin Lantus given once daily in AM in
combination with Glimepiride & Metformin or to
human premixed insulin (70/30) BID
Study Protocol & Treatment
 For both groups, the FBG target was 100mg/dL
 FBG values & pre-dinner BG as well as hypoglycemic
episodes were recorded in a standardized diary
 Hematological, clinical chemistry, & HbA1c values at
baseline & 12, & 24 weeks were measured
 The participating investigators noted any adverse
events at every visit or telephone contact
Efficacy & Safety Measurements
 The primary efficacy measure was change in A1C level from
baseline to endpoint
 Secondary efficacy measurement:
 Mean FBG levels
 Mean daytime BG levels
 Mean BG values from the 8-point profile
 The proportion of patients with FBG levels of 100mg/dL
 The proportion of patients with A1C levels of 7% or less with
no nocturial hypoglycemia
 Safety measures were the proportion of patients with
hypoglycemia events & frequency of hypoglycemic events

Blood glucose level
 Lantus + OAD
 Glargine +OAD
 FBG decreased from 165
mg/dl to 111mg/dl
 Premixed insulin
 FBF decreased from 171
mg/dl to 129 mg/dl
 Decreases in mean adjusted
 A1C decreased from 8.8% to 7.0%
 Premixed insulin
 A1C decreased from 8.9% to 7.4%
 The mean adjusted decrease in
A1C was greater for Lantus +OAD
than for premixed (P=0.03)
 Overall, the proportion of patients
that reached the target A1C level
was significant higher in patients
receiving Lantus+OAD (P=0.01)
FBG levels were significant
greater with Lantus + OAD
than premixed (P=0.02)

Weight gain & Adverse Events
 Mean weight gain
 Glargine + OAD: 1.3 ± 3 kg
 Premixed insulin: 2.2 ± 3.9 kg
 P value = 0.17
 Adverse Events
 Similar between two groups
 Most common AE

Respiratory, nervous system & GI disorders
 Withdraw from the study due AE
 Lantus+ OAD: 1 patient
 Premixed insulin:2 patient
Discussion
 The results presented
 Patients aged 65 & older with type II DM poorly
controlled on oral therapy, adding a single injection of
Lantusto glimepiride & Metformin can provide more
effective glycemic control than stop OAD & starting BID
70/30
 Lantus + OAD regimen enabled 55% of patients to
reach A1C of 7% or less without experiencing
nocturnal hypoglycemia
Some considerations
 Risk of comorbidities in elderly patients
 The possibility that patients developed
contraindications to OADs over time
 Individual assessment with tailored therapy is still
important
 Must consider the compromise between achieving
tight glycemic control & limiting the risk of
hypoglycemia in this patient populations
Conclusion
 This study demonstrated that, for elderly patients with
type II DM who are inadequately controlled with
Metformin + a sulfonylurea, adding a Once daily
injection of Lantus is a simple method that is more
effective in improving glycemic control & less likely to
cause hypoglycemia than starting BID injection of
premixed insulin without oral agents
