Fifty patients receiving BBIT were enrolled in this 24-week, prospective, randomized, open-labeled study.
After excluding subjects with fasting C-peptide immunoreactivity (CPR) < 1.0 ng/mL and CPR increase < 1.0 ng/mL at 6 min post glucagon injection, 25 were randomly allocated to receive Lira-basal (n = 12) or continued BBIT (n = 13).
