Human versus Analogue Insulin for Youth with Type 1 Diabetes in Low-Resource Settings (HumAn-1): protocol for a randomised controlled trial by Éimhín Ansbro, Jing Luo, Chung-Chou H Chang, Kaushik Ramaiya, Bruce L Rollman, Sylvia Kehlenbrink, Sae-Rom Chae, Abigail Foulds, Claire Josey, Christina Lalama, Margaret L Prust, Bedowra Zabeen, Graham Ogle

“…In settings where glycaemic control is typically poor and food insecurity is common, long-acting insulin analogues may offer tangible clinical benefits for people with T1D. To determine whether insulin glargine, a long-acting insulin analogue, reduces the risk of serious hypoglycaemia and/or improves glycaemic time-in-range (TIR) versus human insulin regimens in this population, we are conducting the Human vs Analogue Insulin for Youth with Type 1 Diabetes in Low-Resource Settings randomised controlled trial.Methods and analysis This is a 1:1 randomised, parallel-group clinical trial comparing biosimilar insulin glargine with human insulin (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) or premixed 70/30 insulin) in 400 youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) recruiting in Dhaka, Bangladesh (n=250) and Mwanza, Tanzania (n=150). …”
