Individualized HbA1c targets
• HbA1c range: <6.5% to <8.0% for people with T2D and CKD
1
• These targets are linked with beneficial effects on survival, CV outcomes,
microvascular endpoints, and CKD progression

• Initial HbA1c target of <7.0% in most non-pregnant adult people with T1D and
2
T2D without hypoglycaemia risk
• Reduction of microvascular complications
• Higher HbA1c targets (<8.0%) are recommended for people with limited life
expectancy and when potential risks might impact quality of life

Summary
Summary
• IDegAsp is the first co-formulation insulin PK & PD did not affected by increasing degree
of renal impairment

• From the case report: IDegAsp is a useful options for patients with renal impairment,
including patients undergoing dialysis.

• Diabetes management in elderly should consider holistic approach; neurocognitive


function, treatment goals, hypoglycemia, lifestyle & pharmacologic therapy

• From the Jaguar study: switching to IDegASp improved glycemic control and reduce risk
of hypoglycemia

IDegAsp Latest Safety Update - 30th March 2021
Method of administration
Injection sites should always be rotated within the same region in order to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy and cutaneous amyloidosis (see sections 4.4 and 4.8).

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use


Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders
Patients must be instructed to perform continuous rotation of the injection site to reduce the risk of developing lipodystrophy and cutaneous amyloidosis. There is a
potential risk of delayed insulin absorption and worsened glycaemic control following insulin injections at sites with these reactions. A sudden change in the injection site to
an unaffected area has been reported to result in hypoglycaemia. Blood glucose monitoring is recommended after the change in the injection site from an affected to an
unaffected area, and dose adjustment of antidiabetic medications may be considered.
