Human versus Analogue Insulin for Youth with Type 1 Diabetes in Low-Resource Settings (HumAn-1): protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Summary
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether insulin glargine reduces the risk of serious hypoglycemia or improves Time in Range at 6 months when compared against standard of care human insulin (e.g. NPH or premixed 70/30) among youth living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in low resource settings.
