Özet

Background and Objective Insulin detemir induces bodyweight loss or less weight gain in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, in contrast to insulin detemir, insulin glargine has no weight loss effect. Increased sodium excretion has been speculated to be one of the mechanisms of weight loss by insulin detemir. However, there are no studies in the literature comparing sodium excretion between patients using insulin detemir and those using insulin glargine. There are also no studies comparing the excretion of urinary albumin and urinary protein in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients using insulin detemir or insulin glargine. Thus, the aim of the current study was to compare the effects of insulin detemir and insulin glargine on sodium, albumin, and protein excretion in patients with various stages of CKD and concomitant type 2 diabetes.
