SAN DIEGO, 27 de junio de 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuevos datos divulgados hoy muestran que los niveles de azúcar en la sangre demasiado altos, la demora en el inicio de tratamiento con insulina y un alto nivel de complicaciones relacionadas con la diabetes siguen siendo habituales para muchas personas con diabetes tipo 2 en todo el mundo.

Hoy fueron presentados los datos iniciales correspondientes a A1chieve, un estudio de la diabetes tipo 2 que abarca a 66.726 personas de 28 países en todo Asia, África, Europa y Latinoamérica, en la versión 71 del Congreso de la American Diabetes Association realizado en San Diego.

Los datos obtenidos de las personas antes de iniciar la administración de las insulinas del estudio mostraron que, en general, el control de la diabetes era ineficiente, con un nivel promedio de azúcar en la sangre (HbA1c) de 9,5 %(1), cifra que es superior al objetivo reconocido internacionalmente de 7%.

Hasta el 75% de los participantes padecía enfermedad cardiovascular. Hasta el 84% presentaba otras complicaciones de la diabetes, lo que incluye enfermedad renal, problemas oculares, úlceras del pie y neuropatía(2). No obstante, los mismos datos difieren entre las regiones.

Al momento de incorporarse al estudio, cerca de 9% de los pacientes no había recibido ningún medicamento para reducir la glucosa, pese a tener su nivel promedio de HbA1c sobre 10%(1). Aquellos que habían recibido medicamentos para disminuir la glucosa por vía oral antes de incorporarse al estudio llevaban entre 5,9 años en el sur de Asia y 10,4 años en Latinoamérica(1) padeciendo de diabetes, lo que sugiere una demora significativa en el inicio de la terapia con insulina. Los pacientes que ya habían comenzado con el tratamiento de insulina recibían dosis bajas y estas no se aumentaban  con el transcurso del tiempo, como con frecuencia se requiere por el avance de la enfermedad.

Refiriéndose a los datos, Philip Home, Profesor de Medicina para Diabetes en la Newcastle University de Inglaterra, señaló: "Estos datos destacan la necesidad constante de mejorar la gestión de los pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 a nivel global. Queda claro a partir de los datos que a menudo se retrasa el inicio y la optimización de la terapia con insulina, lo que se traduce en un control deficiente de la glicemia que conduce a complicaciones de la diabetes".

Acerca del estudio A1chieve® (3)

A1chieve® es un estudio abierto global, prospectivo, observacional, multicéntrico, no intervencionista, de 24 semanas sobre análogos de insulina, realizado por Novo Nordisk. El estudio A1chieve® está evaluando los efectos adversos y la efectividad de los análogos de insulina premix (insulina bifásica aspart 30 [NovoMix 30]), basal (insulina detemir [Levemir]), y para horario de comida (insulina aspart [NovoRapid]) en personas con diabetes tipo 2 en la práctica clínica diaria casi rutinaria.

El objetivo primario del estudio es evaluar el perfil de eventos adversos de las insulinas del estudio, incluidas las tasas de hipoglicemia. Además, se mide la efectividad (HbA1c, glucosa en plasma en ayunas, y glucosa en plasma postprandial) y las repercusiones en la calidad de vida del paciente. Al inicio se recopiló datos epidemiológicos completos, incluidos los recientes resultados de glucosa en plasma y episodios hipoglicémicos, la prevalencia de complicaciones relacionadas con la diabetes y las medidas de estándares actuales de cuidado.

Los resultados estarán disponibles a fines del 2011.
