Brief Summary:
This study compared the effectiveness and safety of two treatment algorithms for insulin detemir initiation and titration: active titration algorithm (performed by investigator weekly) versus usual titration algorithm (performed by study subjects weekly) in patients with type 2 diabetes poorly controlled by OADs.
Detailed Description:
This is a 24-week, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study conducted in approximately 200 patients with type 2 diabetes in the Taiwan. The effectiveness of insulin detemir will be assessed at baseline and at 12 and 24 weeks after initiation of study prescription. The safety will be followed during the 24-week study period.
Inclusion criteria:
Patients must meet all of the following criteria:
1. Men and women with type 2 diabetes.
2. 20 years of age.
3. Patients who have received stable doses of any OADs for at least 10 weeks prior to the screening visit.
4. Patients with inadequate glycemic control (HbA1C \>=7% and \< 11%).
5. Patients who are willing and able to cooperate with study and give signed informed consent.
After enrollment, eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following titration algorithms:
* Active titration algorithm: contact with investigator by telephone weekly.
* Usual titration algorithm: contact with investigator only at routine study visit.
