A demonstration of cardiovascular safety is mandatory for all newly developed glucose-lowering agents, including insulin analogues. The vascular benefit of insulin is evident from the Diabetes Control and Complication Trial (DCCT) and United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), and the cardiovascular safety of insulin glargine has been demonstrated in individuals with newly diagnosed diabetes or prediabetes in the ORIGIN trial (Outcome Reduction with an Initial Glargine Intervention). The top-line results of DEVOTE (Trial Comparing Cardiovascular Safety of Insulin Degludec vs. Insulin Glargine in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes at High Risk of Cardiovascular Events) have proven the cardiovascular safety of insulin degludec in persons with type 2 diabetes. In this commentary I discuss the interrelationship of insulin and cardiovascular health, while comparing the results of DEVOTE and ORIGIN.
对于所有新研发的降糖药物,包括胰岛素类似物,证明其心血管安全性是必不可少的。胰岛素的血管益处已在糖尿病控制与并发症试验(DCCT)和英国前瞻性糖尿病研究(UKPDS)中得到证实,而甘精胰岛素的心血管安全性已在“初始甘精胰岛素干预降低结局”(ORIGIN)试验中,在新诊断的糖尿病或糖尿病前期个体中得到证明。“比较德谷胰岛素与甘精胰岛素在心血管事件高风险2型糖尿病患者中的心血管安全性试验”(DEVOTE)的初步结果,已证实德谷胰岛素在2型糖尿病患者中的心血管安全性。在这篇评论中,我将讨论胰岛素与心血管健康的相互关系,同时比较DEVOTE和ORIGIN的结果。
