Head-to-head evidence
insulin detemir vs insulin glulisine
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

insulin detemir · Levemir
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
NCT00283751 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomized 583 participants to insulin detemir or insulin glargine, but it was open-label rather than blinded. Registry results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recovered from the cited external source.
insulin glulisine · Apidra
Marketed by Sanofi
NCT00290927 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomized 390 participants but was not blinded; the registry describes comparisons with oral diabetes therapy. Its primary efficacy endpoint was change in HbA1c, a surrogate measure, and because no results are posted, it is not possible to determine whether the primary comparison was met.
