Analysis of a Delivery Device Conversion for Insulin Aspart: Potential Clinical Impact in Veterans
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Brief Insulin therapies using a wide variety of delivery devices are available to accommodate individual patients' needs. In this study of veterans with diabetes, converting from insulin aspart delivered with vials and syringes to insulin aspart delivered via a pen device resulted in no significant change in A1C. Although insulin pen delivery devices offer benefits, providers should thoroughly consider all potential reasons for uncontrolled diabetes before modifying a patient's insulin delivery method.

Quality of life, treatment satisfaction, and treatment preference associated with use of a pen device delivering a premixed 70/30 insulin aspart suspension (aspart protamine suspension/soluble aspart) versus alternative treatment strategies.
Interest in intensified insulin therapy has contributed to the increased popularity of alternative insulin delivery systems, including insulin pen delivery devices. Although there have been several studies of patient-reported outcomes associated with insulin pen use (1–6), there has been no adequate assessment of 1) the most advanced devices, pens delivering premixed intermediate-acting and rap...
متن کاملA Pooled Analysis of Clinical Pharmacology Trials Investigating the Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Characteristics of Fast-Acting Insulin Aspart in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes
BACKGROUND Fast-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) is insulin aspart (IAsp) in a new formulation aiming to mimic the fast endogenous prandial insulin release more closely than currently available insulin products. In a post hoc analysis of pooled data from six clinical pharmacology trials, the pharmacological characteristics of faster aspart and IAsp were compared. METHODS The analysis inc...
متن کاملProjected long‐term outcomes in patients with type 1 diabetes treated with fast‐acting insulin aspart vs conventional insulin aspart in the UK setting
AIM To assess the impact of faster aspart vs insulin aspart on long-term clinical outcomes and costs for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in the UK setting. METHODS The QuintilesIMS CORE Diabetes Model was used to project clinical outcomes and costs over patient lifetimes in a cohort with data on baseline characteristics from the "onset 1" trial. Treatment effects were taken from...
متن کاملOptimization and development of insulin nanoparticles by new thiolated chitosan derivative with ionic gelation method using a model-based methodology
Insulin therapy has been the best choice for the clinical management of diabetes mellitus. The current insulin therapy is via subcutaneous injection, which often fails to mimic the glucose homeostasis that occurs in normal individuals. Oral delivery is the most convenient administration route. However, insulin cannot be well absorbed orally because of its rapid enzymatic degradation in the gast...
متن کاملSafety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Insulin Aspart in People with Type 2 Diabetes, as Biphasic Insulin Aspart or with Basal Insulin: Findings from the Multinational, Non-Interventional A1chieve Study
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical safety and effectiveness of starting insulin aspart (aspart) therapy in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a sub-analysis of the multinational, non-interventional A1chieve study. METHODS Insulin-naïve and insulin-experienced people with T2DM in routine clinical care starting aspart alone at baseline and continuing a...
