Overview

Randomized clinical trials, studies from the routine clinical practice, as well as our own experience, have shown that a fixed combination of basal insulin and a GLP-1 receptor agonist can be considered an effective and safe choice of intensifying insufficient treatment with basal insulin and also justified “de-intensification” given the previous treatment with multiple daily doses of insulin, even in patients with unsatisfactory glycemic control and high insulin doses.

Keywords:

intensification – de-intensification – fixed-ratio combination – IGlarLixi
