Authors' objectives:

Insulin glargine and insulin detemir are long-acting insulin analogues and were released in recent years as alternatives to NPH insulin. This bulletin’s goal is to evaluate whether or not these new insulins are more effective than NPH insulin in relation to glycemic control and regarding the occurrence of hypoglycemic episodes in adults, adolescents and children.

Authors' recommendations: Since the currently available clinical evidence does not uphold the clinical superiority of insulin analogs in relation to NPH, and since the costs associated to the former are greater, the financial resources should be directed towards structuring programs that aim to maximize the benefits of the treatment currently available through the SUS for controlling IDDM.
