Statins and Diabetes Predictors of new-onset diabetes in patients treated with atorvastatin. Results from 3 large randomized clinical trials. We identified 13 statin trials with 91 140 participants, of whom 4278 (2226 assigned statins and 2052 assigned control treatment) developed diabetes during a mean of 4 years. Statin therapy was associated with a 9% increased risk for incident diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 1·09; 95% CI 1·02—1·17), with little heterogeneity (I2=11%) between trials. Meta-regression showed that risk of development of diabetes with statins was highest in trials with older participants, but neither baseline body-mass index nor change in LDL-cholesterol concentrations accounted for residual variation in risk. Treatment of 255 (95% CI 150—852) patients with statins for 4 years resulted in one extra case of diabetes. Statins and risk of incident diabetes: a collaborative meta-analysis of randomised statin trials • Waters et al wanted to look at the risk of diabetes specifically with atorvastatin, and they did this with data from three large studies—TNT (comparing 80 mg and 10 mg/day of atorvastatin in patients with stable coronary disease), IDEAL (atorvastatin 80 mg vssimvastatin 20 mg/day in post-MI patients) and SPARCL (atorvastatin 80 mg/day vs placebo in patients with a recent stroke or transient ischemic attack).

Biosimilar insulins • Patents expire • Glargine 2014 • Lispro 2013 • Aspart 2012 • Biopharmaceutical • Derived from cell culture/fermentation→ therapeutic protein (recombinant insulin) • May not be identical. Absorption properties can be different. Varying purity may affect anti-genicity. • Problems – alpha interferon→ differences in viral clearance. Insulin Marvel – differences in bioavailability (pK/pD values). File withdrawn. 14 EPOs developed in Thailand→ loss of effect due to antibody formation. • BNF (2007) • “When using biological products it is good practice to use brand names”
