Scientific titleThe effect of insulin detemir on energy balance, postprandial nutrient handling, body fat distribution and adipose tissue metabolism and gene expression in patients with type 2 diabetes
Study acronymDRN 274 (DEES)
Study objectivesThis is a 24-week, national, single-centre, open-labelled, randomised, parallel-group trial comparing energy expenditure with insulin detemir versus a neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin using a basal-bolus regimen with insulin aspart as the mealtime insulin in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
Ethics approval(s)MREC approved (ref: 07/H1102/108)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Diabetes Research Network; Subtopic: Type 2; Disease: Insulin switch, Metabolic
