Popis: Aims/Introduction The present study was to compare the efficacy and safety of subject‐driven and investigator‐driven titration of biphasic insulin aspart 30 (BIAsp 30) twice daily (BID). Materials and Methods In this 20‐week, randomized, open‐label, two‐group parallel, multicenter trial, Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled by premixed/self‐mixed human insulin were randomized 1:1 to subject‐driven or investigator‐driven titration of BIAsp 30 BID, in combination with metformin and/or α‐glucosidase inhibitors. Dose adjustment was decided by patients in the subject‐driven group after training, and by investigators in the investigator‐driven group. Results Eligible adults (n = 344) were randomized in the study. The estimated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction was 14.5 mmol/mol (1.33%) in the subject‐driven group and 14.3 mmol/mol (1.31%) in the investigator‐driven group. Non‐inferiority of subject‐titration vs investigator‐titration in reducing HbA1c was confirmed, with estimated treatment difference −0.26 mmol/mol (95% confidence interval −2.05, 1.53) (–0.02%, 95% confidence interval –0.19, 0.14). Fasting plasma glucose, postprandial glucose increment and self‐measured plasma glucose were improved in both groups without statistically significant differences. One severe hypoglycemic event was experienced by one subject in each group. A similar rate of nocturnal hypoglycemia (events/patient‐year) was reported in the subject‐driven (1.10) and investigator‐driven (1.32) groups. There were 64.5 and 58.1% patients achieving HbA1c
