Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of insulin glargine plus mefformin on inflammatory factors(IF) in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes(T2DM).Methods 110 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM were given insulin glargine(beginning dose:10 U/d) and mefformin(0.5 g,tid) for 12 weeks;while 100 cases selected for the same period from the normal healthy population were taken as control group.Baseline fasting blood glucose(FPG),2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA_1c),C-reactive protein(CRP),TNF-α and IL-6 were observed.Results Before treatment,FPG,2 hPG,HbA_1c and IF in T2DM group were obviously higher than those in control group(P＜0.05),but there was no difference in other clinical data (P＞0.05).After 12 weeks treatment,in T2DM group there was a significant improvement in blood glucose targets [FPG from (14.8±3.9) mmol/L to (6.6±2.1) mmoL/L;2 hPG from (17.6±3.3) mmol/L to (8.3±1.2)mmol/L;HbA1c from (9.6±2.7)% to (6.5±0.8)%,t=7.40,8.37,3.98,P＜0.05],and the level of IF also decreased significantly [CRP from (8.8±2.5) mg/L to (5.5±1.4) mg/L;TNFα from (2.9±0.6) ng/L to (1.6±0.2) ng/L;IL-6 from(170.3±22.2) pg/L to (105.9±14.6) pg/L,t=4.61,3.52,5.68,P＜0.05].Conclusions Insulin glargine and mefformin combined therapy can improve glucose metabolism in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM,and decrease the levels of IF.
