In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Degludec, Glargine, and 1 other intervention for Type 2 Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 180 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if treatment with degludec insulin when compared to glargine U100 insulin will result in similar blood sugar control in patients with diabetes who are admitted to the hospital and then transition to home after discharge from the hospital.

Interventions
Degludec is a long-acting human insulin analog indicated to improve glycemic control in adults with diabetes mellitus. Patients will be treated with bolus regimen given half of total daily dose (TDD) as basal once daily and half as aspart divided in three equal doses before meals. Patients with poor oral intake or with medical instruction to withhold oral intake (NPO) will receive the basal dose, but prandial dose will be held. Insulin dose will be adjusted daily to maintain a fasting and pre-dinner blood glucose (BG) between 100 mg/dL and 180 mg/dL.
Glargine is a long-acting human insulin analog indicated to improve glycemic control in adults with diabetes mellitus. Patients will be treated with bolus regimen given half of total daily dose (TDD) as basal once daily and half as aspart divided in three equal doses before meals. Patients with poor oral intake or with medical instruction to withhold oral intake (NPO) will receive the basal dose, but prandial dose will be held. Insulin dose will be adjusted daily to maintain a fasting and pre-dinner BG between 100 mg/dL and 180 mg/dL.
Aspart insulin will be given in three equally divided doses before each meal. To prevent hypoglycemia, if a subject is not able to eat, aspart insulin dose will be held.
