Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in elderly type 2 diabetic patients. Methods Elderly group(n = 415) and control group (n= 461) received the transient CSII intensive treatment. The different regiments and the incidence of hypoglycemia were observed between the two groups. Results The average duration reaching the target blood glucose and the insulin dosage at the target time were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). The insulin basal rate in the elderly patients was lower than that in control group. The incidence of hypoglycemia, especially at night, was significantly higher in the elderly patients.Conclusions CSII could control blood glucose effectively in elderly type 2 diabetic patients, but the basal insulin dosage should be decreased to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.
