Empowering individuals to self-titrate their basal insulin may help to reduce rates of sub-optimal titration often observed in clinical practice and help more people achieve HbA1c goals. Here we compare the results from the recently completed TAKE CONTROL study, which evaluated self-titration and physician-led titration of insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) in people with T2DM, with comparable studies (AT.LANTUS and ATLAS) of insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100). All 3 studies were 24-week, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group studies. Fasting blood glucose targets were 80-130 mg/dL (4.4-7.2 mmol/L) in TAKE CONTROL, ≤100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) in AT.LANTUS and ≤110 mg/dL (6.1 mmol/L) in ATLAS. Mean baseline HbA1c was between 8.4 and 8.9% (Table). Self-titration statistically significantly lowered mean HbA1c by 0.97 to 1.40% vs. physician-led titration (0.84 to 1.25%; p&lt;0.for all 3 studies). The incidence of severe hypoglycemia and other safety outcomes was similar between titration arms in all 3 studies (Table). Both Gla-300 and Gla-100 were effective in improving glycemic control. Self-titration with Gla-300 resulted in significantly improved glycemic control vs. physician-led titration, as demonstrated previously with Gla-100, without increased hypoglycemia.
