Il diabete in età geriatrica

Con il progredire dell’età si assiste ad un progressivo aumento del numero di persone affette da diabete di tipo 2.

Progressiva riduzione della secrezione insulinica e aumento dell’insulino-resistenza

Riduzione della massa magra

Aumento assoluto/relativo del tessuto adiposo

Riduzione dell’attività fisica (sedentarietà, disabilità)

• 529 (284 men and 245 women) consecutive type 2 diabetic patients1

• 77 events over 5 years1

• Multivariate analysis including HbA1c, pre- and postprandial glucose showed only post-lunch glucose to be predictive1

• Long-term follow up (14 years) confirms this evidence2

“Recent evidences, however, suggest that the value of glycaemia at 1 h during an OGTT

is a stronger predictor for developing diabetes than the value at 2 h and that it is an

independent risk factor for CV disease.”

DEVOTE Conclusions:

• DEVOTE confirmed the cardiovascular safety of insulin degludec in comparison with insulin glargine (both U100)

• The rate of severe hypoglycaemia was significantly reduced with insulin degludec versus IGlar U100 in DEVOTE

• DEVOTE supports a clinical benefit of a basal insulin that has low day-to-day variability and therefore provides consistent fasting glycaemia

• DEVOTE is consistent with data demonstrating an association between severe hypoglycaemia and mortality

The DUAL clinical programme Summary of key clinical findings

Across all seven studies, IDegLira decreased mean HbA1c to below 7% (6.0–6.9%)

IDegLira resulted in weight loss after basal insulin and was either weight neutral (±0.5 kg) or resulted in weight loss after OAD(s)

IDegLira resulted in a low risk of hypoglycaemia (0.16–3.5 events/PYE)

These results were achieved with once daily injection of IDegLira
