OBJECTIVE To examine whether overall glycemic control can be improved with insulin lispro by adjustment of the basal insulin regimen without an increased risk of hypoglycemia. METHODS A 5-month open study was performed in 66 IDDM patients after they had been transferred from human regular insulin to insulin lispro as a premeal therapy. The premeal and basal insulin regimens were adjusted according to self-monitoring of blood glucose during the visits at 2-week to 1-month intervals. Diurnal glucose profile, hypoglycemic events, HbA1c, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. RESULTS The mean daily glucose level decreased from 9.2 +/- 0.2 to 8.4 +/- 0.2 mmol/l (P = 0.001) and HbA1c decreased from 8.8 +/- 0.1 to 8.0 +/- 0.1% (P < 0.001) (mean +/- SD). The number of daily NPH injections increased from 1.4 +/- 0.1 at baseline to 3.1 +/- 0.1 at the end of the study. Total daily insulin dose increased by 3 U (7%) because of an 8-U (43%) rise in basal insulin, whereas premeal insulin dose decreased by 5 U (20%). The number of hypoglycemic episodes did not change during the study. Of the patients, 86% considered insulin lispro equal or better than human regular insulin. CONCLUSIONS Although the study was open, the date suggest that the appropriate combination of insulin lispro and basal insulin can improve postmeal hyperglycemia, HbA1c, and treatment satisfaction without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.

D007003 Hypoglycemia A syndrome of abnormally low BLOOD GLUCOSE level. Clinical hypoglycemia has diverse etiologies. Severe hypoglycemia eventually lead to glucose deprivation of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM resulting in HUNGER; SWEATING; PARESTHESIA; impaired mental function; SEIZURES; COMA; and even DEATH.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
