Summary
Glycemic control is fundamental in the management of diabetes mellitus .If lifestyle
intervention and full tolerated doses of one or two oral glucose lowering drugs (OGLDs) fail
to achieve or sustain glycemic goals, insulin should be initiated. New insulin analogs are
generated to improve glycemic control .New insulin analogs are generated to improve glycemic
control,However, the cost of these analogs is a major problem .The aim of this piggy back
evaluation was to assess the effect of Glargine insuline versus NPH plus regular human
insulin on metabolic control as well as its cost-effectiveness in people with type 2 diabetes
in the Iranian setting.
