Stated aim of study Quote: "The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of insulin detemir and insulin NPH in adults with type 1 diabetes on blood glucose control"
Notes "The primary efficacy variable, the HbA1c showed no statistically significant difference between NPH insulin and insulin detemir for both the Full Analysis Set (FAS) and the Per‐Protocol‐Set (PPS)" and "Both overall and nocturnal analyses show no statistically significant difference in incidence of hypoglycaemic episodes." and "The results indicate that the mean class level of nocturnal hypoglycaemic episode shows no statistically significant difference between NPH insulin and insulin detemir for the FAS (P = 0.2119)" and "Seven patients experienced a total of 10 serious adverse events"
