The time to first occurrence of MACE with TRESIBA

®

 as compared to insulin glargine U-100 was 

non-inferior (HR: 0.91; 95% CI [0.78;1.06]; see Figure 3). The results of the primary composite 

MACE endpoint and a summary of its individual components are shown in Table 15.

Hypoglycemia Outcomes

 - Patients with T2DM and Atherosclerotic CVD

The pre-specified secondary endpoints of event and incidence rates of severe hypoglycemia 

were sequentially tested.
Severe hypoglycemia was defined as an episode requiring assistance of another person to 

actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions and during which 

plasma glucose concentration may not have been available, but where neurological recovery 

following the return of plasma glucose to normal was considered sufficient evidence that the 

event was induced by a low plasma glucose concentration.
The incidence of severe hypoglycemia was lower in the TRESIBA

®

 group as compared to the 

insulin glargine U-100 group (Table 16). Glycemic control between the two groups was similar 

at baseline and throughout the trial.

to the refrigerator cooling element. Do not freeze. Do not use TRESIBA

PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Advise the patient and/or caregiver to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient 

Information and Instructions for Use).

Never Share a TRESIBA

®

 FlexTouch

®

 Pen, Needle, or Syringe Between Patients

Advise patients that they should never share a TRESIBA

®

 FlexTouch

®

 pen device with another 

person, even if the needle is changed. Advise patients using TRESIBA

®

 vials not to share needles 

or syringes with another person. Sharing poses a risk for transmission of blood-borne pathogens 

[see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

.

Hyperglycemia or Hypoglycemia

Inform patients that hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction with insulin. Inform 

patients of the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Inform patients that the ability to concentrate and 

react may be impaired as a result of hypoglycemia. This may present a risk in situations where 

these abilities are especially important, such as driving or operating other machinery. Advise 

patients who have frequent hypoglycemia or reduced or absent warning signs of hypoglycemia 

to use caution when driving or operating machinery.
Advise patients that changes in insulin regimen can predispose to hyper- or hypoglycemia. 
Advise patients that changes in insulin regimen should be made under close medical supervision 

[see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]

.

Medication Errors

Inform patients to always check the insulin label before each injection 

[see Warnings and 

Precautions (5.4)]

. Inform patients that the dose counter of TRESIBA

®

 FlexTouch

®

 pen shows 

the number of units of TRESIBA

®

 to be injected. NO dose re-calculation is required 

[see Dosage 

and Administration (2.2)]

. Instruct patients to never use a syringe to remove TRESIBA

®

 from the 

FlexTouch

®

 disposable insulin prefilled pen.
