Which type of insulin is best for avoiding hypoglycemia in patients with high risk type 2 diabetes?
This study compared the risk of hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood glucose levels) for insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300; Toujeo) and standard-of-care basal insulin (SOC-BI) at patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with risk factors for hypoglycemia. It found that Gla-300 was associated with a lower risk of hypoglycemia than SOC-BI.
