PG - 503-12 LID - 10.2337/dc14-0649 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To compare pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of insulin glargine in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after evening versus morning administration. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Ten T2DM insulin-treated persons were studied during 24-h euglycemic glucose clamp, after glargine injection (0.4 units/kg s.c.), either in the evening (2200 h) or the morning (1000 h). RESULTS: The 24-h glucose infusion rate area under the curve (AUC0-24h) was similar in the evening and morning studies (1,058 +/- 571 and 995 +/- 691 mg/kg x 24 h, P = 0.503), but the first 12 h (AUC0-12h) was lower with evening versus morning glargine (357 +/- 244 vs. 593 +/- 374 mg/kg x 12 h, P = 0.004), whereas the opposite occurred for the second 12 h (AUC12-24h 700 +/- 396 vs. 403 +/- 343 mg/kg x 24 h, P = 0.002). The glucose infusion rate differences were totally accounted for by different rates of endogenous glucose production, not utilization. Plasma insulin and C-peptide levels did not differ in evening versus morning studies. Plasma glucagon levels (AUC0-24h 1,533 +/- 656 vs. 1,120 +/- 344 ng/L/h, P = 0.027) and lipolysis (free fatty acid AUC0-24h 7.5 +/- 1.6 vs. 8.9 +/- 1.9 mmol/L/h, P = 0.005; beta-OH-butyrate AUC0-24h 6.8 +/- 4.7 vs. 17.0 +/- 11.9 mmol/L/h, P = 0.005; glycerol, P < 0.020) were overall more suppressed after evening versus morning glargine administration. CONCLUSIONS: The PD of insulin glargine differs depending on time of administration. With morning administration insulin activity is greater in the first 0-12 h, while with evening administration the activity is greater in the 12-24 h period following dosing. However, glargine PK and plasma C-peptide levels were similar, as well as glargine PD when analyzed by 24-h clock time independent of the time of administration. Thus, the results reflect the impact of circadian changes in insulin sensitivity in T2DM (lower in the night-early morning vs. afternoon hours) rather than glargine per se.
