Popis: Aims To compare the glycaemic control of an insulin lispro mixture (25% insulin lispro and 75% NPL) twice daily in combination with metformin to that of once-daily insulin glargine plus metformin in patients with Type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with intermediate insulin, or insulin plus oral agent(s) combination therapy. Research design and methods Ninety-seven patients were randomized in a multicentre, open-label, 32-week crossover study. Primary variables evaluated: haemoglobin A1c (A1c), 2-h post-prandial blood glucose (BG), hypoglycaemia rate (episodes/patient/30 days), incidence (% patients experiencing ≥ 1 episode) of overall and nocturnal hypoglycaemia. Results At endpoint, A1c was lower with the insulin lispro mixture plus metformin compared with glargine plus metformin (7.54% ± 0.87% vs. 8.14% ± 1.03%, P
