Total Glycemic Control: Need for Co-Formulation Insulin

Glycaemic control requires attention to both FPG

and PPG1

HbA1c

Clinical evidence suggests that reducing PPG excursions

is as important
as reducing FPG for achieving HbA1c goals1,2

 Limitations on current insulin regimens1-3

Basal Insulin Pre-mix Insulin Basal – Bolus Regimen

• Only covering FPG • Not covering 24 hours basal • Treatment complexity due
• Not covering 24 hours basal • Require 1-2 injections to multiple injections
• Fixed administration time • Shoulder effect
• Higher variability

A multi-centre prospective non-interventional study

mellitus in a real-world setting

 Primary objective

To investigate the effectiveness of IDegAsp on glycaemic control in a real-world population of T2D patients, who have
initiated or switched to IDegAsp from previous anti-hyperglycaemic treatment according to local clinical practice

Secondary objective

• To investigate the effectiveness of IDegAsp on glycaemic control in a real-world population of T2D patients treated
with IDegAsp according to local label at the discretion of the treating physician in each individual country as well as in
groups of patients coming from different previous anti-hyperglycaemic treatments

• To investigate the effectiveness of IDegAsp in other clinical parameters and safety in the population previously
referred and to describe the clinical use of IDegAsp in the local clinical practice

NIS, non-interventional study; RCT, randomised controlled trials.
