Introduction and objectives: In EDITION 1 (basal + mealtime insulin) and EDITION 2 (basal + OADs), people with T2DM receiving new insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) achieved comparable glycaemic control with less hypoglycaemia vs. glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100).

Methods: This post hoc analysis explored the effect of switching from twice-daily basal insulin to once-daily Gla-300 or Gla-100.

Results: At randomization, 16.9% and 20.0% of people were receiving twice-daily basal insulin in EDITION 1 and EDITION 2, respectively. In these subgroups, glycaemic control was comparable over 6 months in people who switched to Gla-300 or Gla-100 (LS mean difference in HbA1c change from baseline to month 6 −0.01 [95% CI −0.27 to 0.24]% in EDITION 1 and 0.16 [−0.25 to 0.57]% in EDITION 2). As in the overall study cohorts, Gla-300 dose was higher than Gla-100 at month 6 in this analysis. Participants switching from twice- to once-daily basal insulin in EDITION 1 had lower risk of confirmed (≤70 mg/dL [≤3.9 mmol/L]) or severe hypoglycaemia with Gla-300 vs. Gla-100 at night, but not at any time (24 h; possibly influenced by mealtime insulin use), while in EDITION 2, the risk was reduced both at night and at any time (24 h; Table).

Conclusions: As seen overall in EDITION 1 and 2, people with T2DM switching from twice-daily basal insulin to once-daily Gla-300 achieved comparable glycaemic control with less hypoglycaemia vs. those switching to Gla-100.
