Date:9/10/2008

% male, 59% Caucasian, and 38% African-American, duration of diabetes 13 years, A1C 9.25%, and BMI 35.8 kg/m2. During the 4 months before randomization, 88% used insulin with a mean daily dose of 71IU, about 70% of patients used oral hypoglycemic agent(s) and 29% had chart records for hypoglycemia. Mean follow-up time was 179 days. One patient (1%) randomized to the LANTUS(R)/APIDRA(R) treatment therapy switched to the pre-mixed insulin therapy, relative to 9 (10%) randomized to pre-mixed switched to the LANTUS(R)/APIDRA(R) treatment therapy.

Additional study findings showed that mean number of concomitant oral diabetes agents were 0.86 versus 1.14 (d=-0.28, p=0.041). Total daily insulin dose was 78IU versus 90IU, respectively (p=0.232) For each additional 1% A1C reduction during the approximately 6 months follow-up period, the medication cost for the LANTUS(R)/APIDRA(R) arm was $841 versus $1,308 for the pre-mixed insulin arm.

Additional details about the GINGER and LACE data are included in the study abstracts, available at EASD.org.
