Resumen:
Aims: To evaluate short-and long-term glycaemic control and hypoglycaemia incidence in insulin-naive patients >= 30 years of age with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) initiating basal insulin (BI) with or without oral anti-hyperglycaemic drugs (OADs). Methods: This was an observational, retrospective longitudinal analysis of electronic medical records from 5 European countries and the USA. A multivariable logistic regression model assessed baseline and short-term (0-3 months post BI initiation) factors associated with long-term (3-24 months) glycaemic control and hypoglycaemia. Results: Overall, 40 627 patients were included; 20.9% and 27.8% achieved the general HbA1c target of <= 7% at 3 and 24 months post BI initiation, respectively. Failure to achieve HbA1c <= 7% at 3 months was associated with increased risk of failing to achieve target at 24 months (odds ratio [OR], 3.70 [95% CI, 3.41-4.00]). Over 24 months, 8.9% of patients experienced a recorded hypoglycaemic event. Hypoglycaemia during the initial 3-month period was associated with longer-term risk of these events over the ensuing 3 to 24 months (OR, 5.71 [95% CI, 4.67-6.99]). Conclusions: Initiating BI with or without OADs is associated with short-and long-term suboptimal glycaemic control; the majority of patients fail to achieve HbA1c target <= 7% in the first 3 months, or after 2 years of BI treatment. Treatment response and hypoglycaemia incidence by 3 months post BI initiation are associated with longer-term glycaemic control and hypoglycaemic risk, respectively. These results support the need for early anti-hyperglycaemic interventions that more effectively control blood glucose levels without increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia.
