Group 1
Group 2
In group 1, the dose of Gla-300 will be titrated by the patients by 1 unit per day until achieving a fasting SMPG in the target range of 4.4 to 5.6 mmol/L (INSIGHT algorithm). Titration algorithms: Patients will be instructed to daily adjust their dose of Gla-300 based on fasting SMPG values. Fasting SMPG will be measured daily by the patient before breakfast and any intake of antihyperglycemic agents. Fasting SMPG in the range of ≥ 5.6 mmol/L, increase 1 unit of Gla-300 dose > 4.4 and ≤ 5.6 mmol/L, no change < 4.4 mmol/L, reduce 1 unit of Gla-300 dose
In group 2, the dose of Gla-300 will be titrated by the patients based on the SMPG values of the last 3 days at least weekly, but no more often than every 3 days to achieve a fasting SMPG in the target range of 4.4 to 5.6 mmol/L (EDITION algorithm). Fasting SMPG (median of the last 3 days including current day) in the range of ≥ 7.8 mmol/L, increase 6 units of Gla-300 dose > 5.6 and < 7.8 mmol/L, increase 3 units of Gla-300 dose > 4.4 and ≤ 5.6 mmol/L, no change ≥ 3.3 and < 4.4 mmol/L, reduce 3 units of Gla-300 dose < 3.3 mmol/L or occurrence of ≥ 2 symptomatic or 1 severe hypoglycemic episode in the preceding week, reduce 3 units of Gla-300 dose or at the discretion of the investigator
