Author(s): Mi-Kyung KIMMi-Kyung KIM
Background: Several meta-analyses compared insulin monotherapy and combined therapy of insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA). However, these were not consistent and not focused to individualization. Therefore, we try to elucidate the characteristics of patients whose both fasting and postprandial glucose were controlled by once daily basal insulin monotherapy. Methods: The data of this study are part of our previous study which investigated characteristics of responders on different medications for controlling postprandial glucose levels after optimizing fasting glucose levels by insulin glargine. Background OHA cessation for 2 weeks of initial washout period and then insulin glargine was initiated. Oral glucose tolerance tests after initial wash out period and 7 point self-monitoring blood glucose test for 3 days at each step was completed by ea.. View More»
