  Purpose

Humalog® Mix50/50TM administered as 3 injections daily is equivalent to Humalog® plus Humulin N® insulin administered as 6 separate injections daily in terms of glucose control, but may have some advantages due to increased ease of use.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Fasting self-monitored blood glucose measurements [ Time Frame: Pregnancy (approximately 28 weeks) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Compare the efficacy and safety of three daily injections of Humalog® Mix50/50TM to six daily injections of Humalog® and Humulin N® insulin, by fasting glucose measurements.


Enrollment: 40
Study Start Date: October 2008
Study Completion Date: October 2010
Primary Completion Date: June 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Mix 50/50
3 doses of Mix 50/50 at mealtime
 Drug: Insulin LISPRO
Humalog® Mix50/50™ [50% insulin lispro protamine suspension and 50% insulin lispro injection, (rDNA origin)], three times daily at mealtime. Dose determined by blood glucose history.
Other Name: Humalog® Mix50/50™
Active Comparator: Usual insulin regimen
3 injections of Humalog(r) daily with meals; 3 injections of Humulin N (r) daily on rising, mid-afternoon, and at bedtime
 Drug: Insulin, Long-Acting and Insulin LISPRO
Long-acting insulin three times daily on rising, mid-afternoon, and before bed, and insulin lispro three times daily at mealtime. Doses determined by blood glucose history and carbohydrate content of the meal.
Other Names:
  • Humalin N(r)
  • Humalog (r)

Detailed Description:

Controlling hyperglycemia during pregnancy decreases the risk of adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes. Not only must fasting glucose be normalized, but clinical evidence also indicates that controlling postprandial hyperglycemia will significantly reduce the risk of adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes.

Standard therapy to achieve near-normal glycemia in gestational diabetes involves combining intermediate-acting basal (NPH) insulin with rapid-acting insulin (insulin lispro), thereby requiring 6 daily injections. Premixed Humalog® Mix50/50TM has the potential advantage over combination rapid-acting plus NPH insulin because it involves fewer injections, and those injections are associated with mealtime. The potential downside to the premixed formulation is nocturnal hypoglycemia associated with the time lag between the dinner and breakfast dose. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Humalog® Mix50/50TM compared to that of Humalog® plus Humulin N® insulin for the treatment of insulin-requiring patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, while monitoring glucose control, intrauterine growth and assessing pregnancy outcomes.
