ORIGIN was the first to evaluate the effect of early treatment with basal insulin compared with standard treatment in a multinational, multi-center randomized study. While it demonstrated neutral primary outcomes microangiopathy was reduced in patients with a HbAc1 > 6.4 % calling for a longer-term follow-up (ORIGINALE).

Chin Med J. 2009;122:2554-9. The authors set out to demonstrate that early insulin initiation results in diabetes remission and that, after 2 years, about 50 % of patients with intermittent insulin treatment were still in remission. The results were better, the shorter the history of diabetes and the closer to normal the initial glycemic control was.

This consensus statement most closely reflects the gear shift from a glucose to a patient centered treatment approach and gives recommendations on the treatment options after initial metformin monotherapy fails.
