ObjectiveWith healthcare systems under increasing financial pressure from costs associated with diabetes care, it is important to assess which treatments provide clinical benefits and represent best value. This study evaluated the annual costs of insulin degludec (degludec) versus insulin detemir (IDet) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the UK.Research design and methodsUsing data from a randomized, treat-to-target, non-inferiority trial—BEGIN YOUNG 1—annual costs with degludec versus IDet in children and adolescents aged 1–17 years with T1D were estimated, as costs of these insulins and hyperglycemia with ketosis events. Analyses by age group (1–5, 6–11 and 12–17 years) and scenario (no ketosis benefit, no dose benefit, hyperglycemia with ketones >0.6 and >3.0 mmol/L and the additional costs of twice-daily IDet in 64% of patients) were also performed.ResultsThe mean annual cost per patient was estimated as £235.16 for degludec vs £382.91 for IDet, resulting in an annual saving of £147.75 per patient. These substantial cost savings were driven by relative reductions in the frequency of hyperglycemia with ketosis and basal insulin dose with degludec versus IDet. Annual savings in favor of degludec were observed across each age group (£122.63, £140.59 and £172.50 for 1–5, 6–11 and 12–17 years age groups, respectively). Five scenario analyses further demonstrated the robustness of the results, which included no ketosis or dose benefits in favor of degludec.ConclusionsDegludec provides appreciable annual cost savings compared with IDet in children and adolescents with T1D in a UK setting. While a cost-effectiveness analysis could incorporate the health impact of treatment complications better than the present cost analysis, the strong generalizability of the data from this study suggests that degludec can help healthcare providers to maximize health outcomes despite increasingly stringent budgets.

Study Objective: To compare glycemia variability (GV), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and time in range in paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) with various baseline GV after the change from basal insulin detemir to insulin degludec. Study Design: Non-randomised controlled study. Materials and Methods. We examined 30 children with DM1 aged 5 to 17 years; duration of disease was at least 1 year. Patients were divided into two groups, depending on the rate of the coefficient of variability (CV): ≤ 36% — group 1, > 36% — group 2. Time in range, time above range and time below range as well as CV were evaluated on the basis of the standard outpatient glucose profile using glycemia monitoring programme with periodic scanning (flash monitoring) before and after the change of basal insulin. Study Results. After group 2 patients switched from insulin detemir to insulin degludec, we noted increased time in range (from 40.3 ± 11.5% to 62.4 ± 6.7%; р < 0.001), reduced time above range (from 53.7 ± 10.7% to 34.1 ± 6.6%; р < 0.001), CV (from 43.2 ± 5.4% to 37.0 ± 3.3%; р = 0.05), and HbA1c (from 9.4 ± 1.5% to 7.5 ± 0.7%; р < 0.05), with no time below range. Conclusion. In children with DM1 who were treated with basal insulin detemir and had high GV, switching to insulin degludec allows significant improvement of metabolic control without the risk of hypoglycaemia. Keywords: type 1 diabetes mellitus, glycemia variability, degludec, coefficient of variation, time in range.
