Insulin detemir: improving the predictability of glycaemic control.
The importance of strict glycaemic control in reducing diabetes-related outcomes is well recognised. Yet, despite the range of available treatment options, clinical experience suggests that individuals with diabetes frequently fail to achieve good glucose control. Instead, patients often have poorly controlled, unpredictable blood glucose levels. In insulin-treated patients, one of the reasons for this may be the inherently variable action of exogenously injected insulin. For example, the currently available longer-lasting insulin preparations that aim to provide a continuous basal level of circulating insulin are associated with markedly variable action both between and within subjects. Unpredictable insulin action contributes to variable blood glucose control, which in addition to increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia has also been shown to be an independent risk factor for mortality. It is hoped that advances in longer-lasting insulin preparations will provide significant benefits to patients, improving control and reducing variability. A new, long-lasting analogue, insulin detemir, has been shown to be significantly less variable than other basal insulin preparations in pharmacological and clinical studies. The improved predictability in insulin response offered by insulin detemir may be associated with a number of clinical benefits including a reduction in hypoglycaemia and weight gain.
