Glargine U300 - A Novel Approach in Managing Type 2 Diabetes

Dr. Jamal Ahmad discusses type 2 diabetes as a chronic, progressive disorder affecting. Comorbid conditions associated with diabetes include cardiovascular disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease (CKD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and foot problems.Various regimens, such as basal insulin, premixed insulin, and multiple daily injections, are used to treat type 2 diabetes. Both international and national bodies recommend basal insulin.

Dr. Ahmad's experience and literature findings indicate that Insulin Glargine 300 (Gla-300) is superior to Insulin Glargine 100 (Gla-100) in reducing A1C, overall hypoglycaemia, and nocturnal hypoglycaemia. Gla-300 has a peak less profile, lasts more than 36 hours, and offers a simple regimen for initiating and intensifying basal insulin. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has shown improved glycaemic variability with Gla-300 is suggested as the preferred choice for type 2 diabetes patients not achieving control with these agents and highlights its safety in type 1 diabetes and associated comorbidities.
