Background: High glucose level can cause many serious complications, especially for type 2 diabetic patients. Poorly blood glucose control in type 2 diabetic patients usually induces serious complications. Objective: (1) To evaluate blood glucose control state and (2) To describe affected factors to blood glucose control in type 2 diabetic patients. Subjects and method: We carried out a survey on blood glucose control in 104 type 2 diabetic patients (based on HbA1c results), admitted to Dept of Endocrinology, Bach Mai Hospital from December 2005 to April 2006. 73.1 % of patients is female, average age is 63.4 years old, 57.7% has hypertension, and 62.5% has diabetes for \ufffd?5 years. Results:Blood glucose is poorly controlled in 80.8% (HbA1C > 7.5%), and good controlled in only 12.5% patients (HbA1C < 6.5%). Several affected factors are identify, such as patients were not educated and/or do not perform correctly nutritional and exercise therapy (48.1 %); not compliant with drug treatment; or not measure regularly blood glucose; and long duration of diabetes (p < 0.01). Conclusions: (1) Blood glucose in majority of type 2 diabetic patients is poorly controlled. (2) Factors affected are non - compliance with therapy, irregularly blood glucose measurement and long duration of diabetes.

The treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is traditionally focused on glycemic control. In recent years, comprehensive treatment approaches including blood sugar control, blood pressure management, and use of antihyperlipidemic agents (e.g. statins) and aspirin play critical roles in improving the outcomes of T2DM. Some newly developed approaches such as stomach reduction surgery also have been applied.

Exercise training plays a critical role in the prevention and control of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). New guidelines on exercise training for T2DM patients was jointly published by American College of Sports Medicine and American Diabetes Association at the end of 2010. In the Guidelines on Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in China issued by Chinese Diabetes Society, the role of exercise training is also clearly defined. The implementation of guidelines requires individualized exercise training prescription and program. In this article, we review the procedure of individualized aerobic exercise training prescription, resistant exercise, safety issues, and other relevant topics.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of acupuncture at METHODS: Sixty patients with type-2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each one. Both groups were treated with basic treatment, and the observation group was additionally treated with acupuncture at Neiting (ST 44), Xiangu (ST 43), Dadu (SP 2), Taibai (SP 3), Zusanli (ST 36), etc. once every other day, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The changes of TCM symptom score, Toronto clinical assessment (TCSS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score of pain and serum tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) level were observed before and after treatment in the two groups, and the clinical effects of the two groups were evaluated. RESULTS: Compared before treatment, the TCM syndrome score and the TCSS score in the two groups were reduced after treatment ( CONCLUSION Acupuncture at
