Background: Insulin degludec (IDeg) and insulin glargine U300 (IGla-300) are recently launched ultra-long-acting insulin formulations. It remains unclear whether or how their glucose-stabilizing effects differ. We now compared the effects of these insulins on parameters on glycemic variability in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: This multicenter, randomized, crossover, non-inferiority trial recruited 46 patients with T1D treated with basal-bolus insulin therapy at 14 facilities in Japan. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to IGla-300 (first period)/IDeg (second period) or IDeg (first period)/IGla-300 (second period) groups, in which subjects were treated with the corresponding basal insulin for 4-week periods. The last week of each treatment period constituted the data collection phase, during which the participants determined the plasma glucose level seven times a day using a SMBG devise and were also equipped with a CGM devise. The primary end point was comparison of day-to-day glycemic variability evaluated by the standard deviation (SD) of FPG during the last week of each treatment period.

Results: The SD for FPG in the IDeg treatment period was not inferior to that in the IGla-300 treatment period (95% CI, -16.1-3.0 mg/dL). The levels (95% CI, -18.4-5.7 mg/dL) and the coefficient of variance (95% CI, -4.6-4.3 %) of FPG did not significantly differ between the two periods. Parameters obtained with CGM, including time-in-range, duration of nocturnal hypoglycemia, mean amplitude of glycemic excursion, and mean of the daily differences, as well as the doses of basal and bolus insulins also did not significantly differ between the two treatment periods.

Conclusion: IDeg was not inferior to IGla-300 in terms of inter-day glycemic variability in the treatment of T1D, and the treatments with these two insulins yielded similar outcomes for various parameters related to blood glucose control.
