Introduction: Insulin therapy remains a treatment of last resort for type 2 diabetic patients with uncontrolled diabetes with oral antidiabetic. The aim of this study was to find a correlation between the initial dose of insulin and the glycated hemoglobin (A1c) level.
Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study. We included 63 patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized for a switching to insulin in the C department of diabetology and nutrition at the National Nutrition Institute in Tunis, during 3 months. We correlate the initial daily insuline dose and the A1c level using the Spearman test.
Results: The mean age of patients was 58.75± 12 years, 43% were men and 57% were women. The average duration of diabetes was 9,27± 6 years. We found a statistically significant correlation between the initial daily insuline dose and the A1c level (r = 0,66; P = 0.000).
Conclusion: Our results showed a positive correlation between A1c level and initial insulin dose, which encourages us to consider insulin treatment in time to avoid the need for high doses and to minimize side effects.
