| Abstract: |
This article, from a special supplement of Diabetes Care magazine that reports the proceedings of the 1st World Congress on Controversies in Diabetes, Obesity, and Hypertension (CODHy) held in Berlin in 2006, reports on the use of long-acting insulin analogs versus insulin pump therapy for the treatment of patients with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The authors consider whether multiple daily injection (MDI) regimens based on new long-acting insulin analogs such as glargine and detemir have now replaced the need for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). They discuss hypoglycemia, elevated glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C ) levels and glycemic variability, the dawn phenomenon, the problems of poor control in type 2 diabetes, and CSII as a management strategy in type 2 diabetes. They conclude that long-acting insulin analogs have not yet replaced the need for insulin pump therapy in type 1 diabetes, and CSII is the best current treatment option for some people with type 1 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, CSII and MDI produce similar glycemic control, although there is little research on the use of MDI based on long-acting analogs compared with insulin pumps. 4 figures. 2 tables. 47 references. |
