Abstract:
During 2004 to 2009, 701 patients with diabetes were under community-hospital-based integrated management at Zhonghua and Xiagang community health-care service centers, Xiamen, Fujian.Changes of clinical indicators, life-style and frequency of checks for its complications in them were compared before and after the management. All clinical indicators decreased with length of management, with fasting blood glucose from ( 7. 6 ± 2. 3 ) mmol/L before management to ( 7. 3 ± 2. 0) mmol/L half a year after management, (7. 2 ± 2. 1 ) mmol/L one year after management, (6. 9 ± 1.7 ) mmol/L two years after management. Their life-style also improved significantly and frequency of checks for complications increased with: 54. 4% for retinopathy, 52. 5% for diabetic foot, and 51.8% for neuropathy after management (P <0. 05).
