Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-weekly insulin codec as a novel treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) using insights from clinical trial data.


Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) methodology. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for English-language studies published between 2000 and 2023. Out of 2,567 citations identified, 45 studies were included in the final analysis.


Findings: The analysis revealed a significant correlation between once-weekly insulin codec and improved glycemic control in T1DM patients. Specifically, 60% of the studies reported notable reductions in HbA1c levels. In contrast, 25% of the studies found no significant difference compared to daily insulin regimens, while 15% observed a slight increase in adverse events, such as hypoglycemia. Additional studies provided insights into the pharmacokinetics and patient adherence associated with once-weekly insulin codec, highlighting its potential to enhance patient compliance and quality of life. The year 2021 was identified as the most productive, with several key publications detailing the clinical benefits and safety profile of the treatment.


Practical Implications: The findings could inform healthcare providers and policymakers about adopting a once-weekly insulin codec as a feasible treatment option for T1DM, potentially leading to improved patient adherence and outcomes.


Originality/Value: This study is a pioneering effort to provide a comprehensive examination of the once-weekly insulin codec for T1DM using the systematic literature review (SLR) methodology.
