Adults with type 2 diabetes treated with Xultophy® (IDegLira) were up to 4.5 times more likely to reach glycaemic targets without hypoglycaemia and weight gain vs up-titration with insulin glargine U100
Munich, Germany, 13 September 2016 - Novo Nordisk today presented data showing the odds of reaching fasting plasma glucose (FPG) targets without hypoglycaemia and weight gain were significantly greater for Xultophy® (IDegLira) compared to up-titration with insulin glargine U100 in adults with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled on insulin glargine U100 (20-50 units). Xultophy® is the first once-daily combination of a long-acting insulin (insulin degludec) and a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (liraglutide) in Europe. Results were presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2016.1
