Objective To investigate the accuracy of real-time continuous glucose monitoring(RT-CGM)system in the type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods A total of 318 subjects hospitalized between 2013 May to 2014 August were recruited. Each subject received a RT-CGM system. In order to calibrate the interstitial glucose level, finger-stick blood glucose were measured at least four times every day. Patients were divided into three groups according to their finger-stick blood glucose level:≤6.99 mmol/L, 7.0-10.0 mmol/L and≥10.01 mmol/L. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the finger-stick glucose and interstitial glucose gained from RT-CGM. Clarke error grid analysis was used to analyze the accuracy of RT-CGM. Results (1)A total of 2, 815 glucose meter values from finger-stick were com?paired with glucose from RT-CGM. A positive relationship(r=0.847)were found between CGM and finger-stick blood glu?cose. The correlation was closer with higher finger-stick blood glucose levels(r=0.457, 0.648 and 0.852 respectively in≤6.99 mmol/L group, 7.0-10.0 mmol/L group and≥10.01 mmol/L group. P<0.001).(2)The Clarke error grid analysis re?vealed that 76.69%of the readings from RT-CGM were clinical perfect (zone A), 20.28%were acceptable (zone B), 3.03%were unacceptable (zone C-E). Clinical perfect rate was lower when the finger-stick glucose≤6.99 mmol/L , compared with that when it is between 7.0-10.0 or≥10.01 mmol/L group(73.12%vs 78.63%&79.28%,P<0.05), there was no significant difference between group of 7.0-10.0 mmol/L with group≥10.01 mmol/L (P>0.05). Conclusion RT-CGM provides accu?rate blood glucose values to guide the treatment of diabetes, and the accuracy is more reliable in high glucose environment.

Objective:To explore the relationship between doing housework and gait speed(GS)in order to identify ways to maintain physical capability in elderly people.Methods:A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted from Jan.2011 to Dec.2011.Subjects in this survey, with a sample of 2 519 males and 2 541 females aged ≥60 years, came from six regions across the country and satisfactorily completed a GS test.A GS in the lower 20% of the reference population(<0.7 m/s)was used as the cut-off point to define slow GS(SGS). Housework was defined as activities such as house cleaning, shopping, cooking and taking care of grandchildren and a response of"often"(≥5 d/week)was considered as doing housework.Propensity Score Matching(PSM)was performed to select comparable sub-groups of the study population to evaluate the association between housework and GS.Results:There were 3 290 subjects(1 645 pairs)selected by PSM.Logistic regression analysis showed that doing housework was inversely associated with SGS, and housework activities reduced the risk of SGS by 60%( OR=0.40, 95% CI: 0.35-0.46, P<0.01). Conclusions:Elderly people who conduct housework often are more likely to maintain GS and therefore should be encouraged to engage in daily activities to help maintain adequate physical performance.
