This multicenter, longitudinal, descriptive, observational study of T2DM adults in Thailand aimed to assess real-world outcomes of basal insulin (BI) dose titration on glycemic control. Three-hundred and twenty-four patients were recruited and followed up over 24 weeks. Basal insulin titration was physician-driven in 58.2% of patients and patient-driven in the rest. During the 24-week study period, the total daily BI dose moved from 20.9 to 25.6 in the physician-driven group, while in the patient-driven group, it increased from 25.3 to 29.7. Thirty-five patients (11.2%) achieved their individualized HbA1c targets, with 18 patients (5.8%) achieving HbA1c ⩽ 7% without documented hypoglycemia. In summary, this study highlights that BI titration is suboptimal in the real world, and patients are unable to achieve their glycemic targets.
这项针对泰国2型糖尿病成年人的多中心、纵向、描述性观察性研究旨在评估基础胰岛素(BI)剂量滴定对血糖控制的实际效果。招募了324名患者并进行了24周的随访。58.2%的患者由医生主导基础胰岛素滴定,其余患者由患者自行滴定。在为期24周的研究期间,医生主导组的每日BI总剂量从20.9增至25.6,而患者自行滴定组则从25.3增至29.7。35名患者(11.2%)达到了个体化糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)目标,其中18名患者(5.8%)在无低血糖记录的情况下达到了HbA1c≤7%。总之,本研究强调在现实世界中BI滴定并不理想,患者无法实现其血糖目标。
