A nationwide cohort study for comparative vascular safety of long-acting insulin analogue versus intermediate-acting human insulin in type 2 diabetes

Abstract Little is known about the comparative vascular safety of basal insulins (intermediate-acting human insulin [IAHI] or long-acting insulin analogue [LAIA]) in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study sought to examine the vascular and hypoglycemic effects associated with IAHI versus LAIA in real-wor...

Compared with LAIA, the use of IAHI was associated with greater risks of composite CVDs (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20–2.67) and hospitalized hypoglycemia (aHR: 1.82; 95% CI 1.51–2.20), but a lower risk of composite MVDs (aHR: 0.88; 95% CI 0.84–0.91). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses showed a consistent trend of results with that in the primary analyses.
