A randomized trial of two weight-based doses of insulin glargine and glulisine in hospitalized subjects with type 2 diabetes and renal insufficiency.
Summary
It is imperative to devise easy to follow, yet appropriate, guidelines for insulin use in renal-impaired patients. This will be done by comparing two regimens: 1) glargine once daily plus mealtime glulisine based on weight alone and 2) a predetermined dosing reduction algorithm with glargine/glulisine based on weight with reduction for decreased estimated GFR by MDRD as follows: < 30 ml/min/1.73m2 or on dialysis reduce dose by 50% from weight based calculation.
