In 3 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in 2496 adults with type 2 diabetes, Toujeo had similar efficacy to insulin glargine 100 units/ml (Lantus) in terms of HbA1c reduction. There was a statistically significant reduction in confirmed or severe nocturnal hypoglycaemia with Toujeo in 2 of the RCTs, but not in the third trial. Severe hypoglycaemic events were rare and not statistically significantly different between Toujeo and Lantus (NICE)
