Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation of blood glucose variability and TCM syndromes in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods A total of 64 type 2 diabetic patients from China-Japan Friendship Hospital during Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2013 with complete clinical data were measured by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMs) for 3 days. Patients were divided into empirical group and deficiency group. The empirical group included heat excess and fluid deficiency syndrome, phlegm-dampness stagnation syndrome and blood stasis syndrome. The deficiency group included qi-yin deficiency syndrome and yin-yang deficiency syndrome. The mean blood glucose (MBG), and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) were compared between the groups and types in each group, and the correlation with TCM syndrome types were analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in MBG between two groups (P>0.05). MAGE in deficiency group was higher than that in empirical group (P<0.05). No difference of MAGE existed among TCM syndrome types in empirical group (P>0.05), but in deficiency group, MAGE in yin-yang deficiency syndrome was higher than that in qi-yin deficiency syndrome (P<0.05). Conclusion Blood glucose variability has no correlation with MBG in type 2 diabetic patients. Glucose showed significant variability in deficiency group, and the most serious glucose variability was found in type of yin-yang deficiency syndrome.
