To evaluate the clinical utility for simple patient administered dose adjustment methods of insulin glargine during outpatient visits compared with a physician managed titration, changes in HbA1c and total daily dose of insulin were evaluated in 23 patients by dividing patients into physician-led (PL) group and self-titration (ST) group who were newly administered glargine basal-supported oral therapy (BOT) while continuing oral antidiabetic drugs at the discretion of their attending physician during regular outpatient visits. In the PL group, one month after initiation of glargine, HbA1c followed a declining trend, although this was not significant (P = 0.07), and decreased significantly after two and three months (P
