[Basal insulin glargine using a basal-bolus regimen in a common clinical practice: observational, non-interventional, multicenter, national project LINDA (Lantus in daily practice - safety and efficacy in basal bolus regimen)].
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of basal insulin glargine using a basal-bolus regimen in a common clinical practice setting in the Czech Republic. ⋯ In the common clinical practice setting, the initiation of treatment with insulin glargine using the basal-bolus regime in patients with previous insulin therapy resulted in a reduction in the incidence of hypoglycemic events, including severe hypoglycemia and severe nocturnal hypoglycemia, and improved metabolic control in patients with diabetes (reduced glycated hemoglobin, fasting glucose values and 6-point blood glucose profile). Greater satisfaction with the current treatment was reported by both patients and physicians.Key words: basal-bolus regimen - diabetes mellitus - insulin glargine - observational project.
