Beginning insulin with biphasic insulin aspart 30: experience from the A 1 chieve study Professor Philip Home Newcastle University
Presenter and sponsor duality of interest Duality of interest Philip Home, for himself or institutions with which he is associated, receives funding from all major insulin manufacturers including Novo Nordisk for his research, educational and advisory activities Role of sponsor Novo Nordisk, was involved in the design, data acquisition, and data analysis of the study, and funded the investigators to provide data from consented people with diabetes. Novo Nordisk is the developer and manufacturer of the insulins studied Acknowledgements We are grateful to all the investigators and people with diabetes who gave time and energy to this study
A 1 chieve biphasic aspart results: insulin naive Key messages In routine care, beginning biphasic insulin aspart 30 (BIAsp30) is associated with very good improvements in glucose control Such improvements are not associated with problems of weight gain or exacerbation of hypoglycaemia Health economic modelling, incorporating the findings and quality of life data, show very good cost-effectiveness

Why perform observational studies? Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are performed in selected study populations well-motivated participants selected countries RCTs are intensive and closely monitored expensive to perform small populations Observational studies aim to characterize what happens in routine clinical care more typical populations wide geographical recruitment large numbers as less expensive per head

A 1 chieve: overall summary for biphasic aspart 30 In insulin naïve people in poor blood glucose control starting biphasic insulin aspart : Blood glucose control measured as HbA 1c, FPG or PPPG improved markedly clinically & statistically significantly This was not accompanied by an increase in reported hypoglycaemia, or in body weight Useful and safe improvements in blood glucose control were seen in: all age groups and all global regions Systolic blood pressure and health-related quality of life were also improved to a clinically useful extent The intervention was highly cost-effective in a range of countries
A 1 chieve BIAsp 30: comment and interpretation The results suggest that in routine clinical practice biphasic insulin aspart 30 can deliver the gains seen in clinical trials The lack of weight gain despite marked improvement in HbA 1c, and the improvement in blood pressure, suggest that starting insulin analogues can be an opportunity for enhanced lifestyle behaviours The lack of increase in hypoglycaemia despite marked improvement in HbA 1c also suggests improved self-management The cost-effectiveness data suggests wide implementation is desirable
A 1 chieve BIAsp30: conclusion Globally, in routine clinical practice, starting biphasic insulin aspart is an opportunity, in insulin naïve people in poor metabolic control, to improve their cardiovascular risk profile and health-related quality of life without detriment to safety or excess cost
