ABSTRACT: To investigate the impact of baseline 1,5-anhydroglucitol on the treatment effect of basal-bolus therapy in people with Type 2 diabetes.Post hoc analysis of onset 3, an 18-week, randomized, phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of fast-acting insulin aspart in basal-bolus therapy (n = 116) vs. basal insulin-only therapy (n = 120) in people with Type 2 diabetes. The estimated treatment difference in change from baseline in HbA1c was investigated for different cut-off values of baseline 1,5-anhydroglucitol (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 ?g/ml).The estimated treatment difference in change from baseline in HbA1c between basal-bolus therapy and basal insulin-only therapy was statistically significantly greater in participants with baseline 1,5-anhydroglucitol ?3 ?g/ml (n = 34) vs. >3 ?g/ml (n = 198) [estimated treatment difference (95% CI): -1.53% (-2.12; -0.94) vs. -0.82% (-1.07; -0.57); P-value for interaction = 0.03]. The estimated treatment difference became more pronounced when comparing participants with 1,5-anhydroglucitol ?2 ?g/ml (n = 15) vs. >2 ?g/ml (n = 217) [estimated treatment difference (95% CI): -2.26% (-3.15; -1.36) vs. -0.85% (-1.08; -0.62); P-value for interaction = 0.003]. For cut-off values ?4 ?g/ml, estimated treatment differences were numerically greater below the cut-off compared with above, although the interaction terms were not statistically significant.This analysis indicates that people with Type 2 diabetes with low 1,5-anhydroglucitol have an added treatment benefit with basal-bolus therapy compared with people with higher 1,5-anhydroglucitol. Further research is needed to clarify any clinical utility of these findings. Clinical Trials Registry No: NCT01850615.
