Insulin Degludec for the Management of Patient With Recurrent Diabetic Ketoacidosis

NCT03001323 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 27

Last updated 2021-05-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Given the longer half life of insulin degludec compared to glargine /levemir ,investigators believe that insulin degludec will reduce the rate of recurrent DKA. The investigator will randomize participants to control and intervention group. Control group will receive Lantus/Levemir and intervention group will receive degludec. The investigators will call participants monthly and see them in the clinic every three months.The investigators will follow them for 1 year and evaluate if there will be a difference in rate of DKA in between these two groups.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Degludec

Discharge on once a day degludec insulin by pen (supplied by Novo) at dose 0.3 U/kg with reduction to 0.2 U/kg for GFR \<30 ml/hr. Fast acting insulin that patient is using will be adjusted so that total daily dose given to cover 2 or 3 meals is equal to the long-acting insulin dose. Patient will have basal bolus regimen either using carb counting or with set doses for meals. Insulin adjustment if hypoglycemia (less than 60 mg/dl) or if fasting BG over 140 despite insulin compliance. For hypoglycemia, dose will be lowered 0.05 U/kg and for elevated fasting glucose it will be raised 0.05 U/kg. Phone calls every month and clinic visits every 3 months for 1 year with dose adjustment as above.

DRUG

Standard long-acting

Discharge on once a day long-acting insulin by pen that patient is using at time of enrollment (supplied by clinic) at dose 0.3 U/kg with reduction to 0.2 U/kg for GFR \<30 ml/hr. Fast acting insulin that patient is using will be adjusted so that total daily dose given to cover 2 or 3 meals is equal to the long-acting insulin dose. Patient will have basal bolus regimen either using carb counting or with set doses for meals. Insulin adjustment if hypoglycemia (less than 60 mg/dl) or if fasting BG over 140 despite insulin compliance. For hypoglycemia, dose will be lowered 0.05 U/kg and for elevated fasting glucose it will be raised 0.05 U/kg.
