Do different body colors and labels of insulin pens enhance a patient's ability to correctly identify pens for injecting long-acting versus short-acting insulins?
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to characterize how successfully patients with diabetes are able to distinguish between pens of the same pen type containing long- and short-acting insulins. METHODS Structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 400 patients with diabetes in the United States, using either a differentiated (n = 100) or undifferentiated (n = 100) SoloSTAR® (ins...
متن کاملDose accuracy and injection force of different insulin glargine pens.
BACKGROUND Dose accuracy and injection force, representing key parameters of insulin pens, were determined for three pens delivering insulin glargine-based copies, Pen Royale (WR) and DispoPen (WD) for Glaritus® (Wockhardt) and GanLee Pen (GL) for Basalin® (Gan & Lee), compared with pens of the originator, ClikSTAR® (CS) and SoloSTAR® (SS) for Lantus® (Sanofi). METHODS Using the weighing proc...
متن کاملHow to Accurately Establish Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics of Long-Acting Insulins in Humans: Relevance to Biosimilar Insulins.
In this issue of Diabetes Care, Linnebjerg et al. (1) compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a Lilly synthetized insulin glargine (LY IGlar) with the insulin glargine Lantus (IGlar) based on a series of clamp studies in healthy volunteers and conclude for PK/PD that there is similarity of the LY IGlar vs. IGlar. The strengths of the study should be discussed along with i...
متن کاملInsulin glargine: a long acting insulin analog.
The main goal of treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) is to maintain long term near normoglycemia. Insulin therapy plays a pivotal role in the management of DM. Most insulin preparations and insulin delivery systems, do not mimic the physiological insulin secretion in the body, leading to impaired metabolic control and increased hypoglycemic attacks. Insulin glargine is newer, long acting insuli...
متن کاملEconomic Impact of Converting from Pen and 10-mL Vial to 3-mL Vial for Insulin Delivery in a Hospital Setting.
PURPOSE To compare the impact on acquisition cost and purchased volume of rapid- and short-acting insulins following conversion from 3-mL disposable pens and 10-mL vials to 3-mL vials for individual patient supply (IPS) in a hospital setting. METHODS On February 1, 2010, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center of Dignity Health in Phoenix, Arizona, converted from pens to 3-mL vials for IPS s...
