Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2012;19(6):846-848
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of insulin detemir combined with acarbose in treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods32 T2DM patients whose blood glucose control was poor receiving twice daily isophane protamine biosynthetic human insulin( Novolin 30R) combined or not combined with oral hypoglycemic drugs,were switched to receive insulin detemir injection once daily and oral acarbose three times daily for 12 weeks.By self-contrasted method,observed blood glucose before and after three meals,before sleeping,glycated hemoglobin ( HbA1c),change of body mass index( BMI),incidence of hypoglycemia,compliance and satisfaction of patients (by questionnaire) before and after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment,the blood glucose before and after three meals,before sleeping and HbA1 c declined sigmifieatly ( t =11.212,14.997,10.863,17.950,11.108,14.034,12.422,22.764,all P <0.01 )compared to state before treatment.The rate of hypoglycemia in the day was 3.1%,without nocturnal symptoms of hypoglycemia.BMI had certain declining,but there was no statistical significance (P > 0.05).The compliance and satisfaction of patients were in a higher rate (x2 =10.255,9.143,all P < 0.01 ).ConclusionInsulin detemir combined with acarbose could effectively control the blood glucose,incidence of hypoglycemia,without increasing body mass,achieve good compliance and satisfaction of patients.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum hs-CRP and β-cell finction in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods The levels of hs-CRP in 60 patients with GDM(GDM group)and 30pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance(NGT group)were detected.Insulin resistance was assessed by the homeostasismodel insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),Insulin secretion by the homeostasis β-cell funetiOn index(HOMA-β).Results The levels of hs-CRP and HOMA-IR were higher in GDM group than in NGT group.There was significant difference between two groups(P<0.01);HOMA-β was lower in GDM group than in NGT group,there was significant difference between two groups(P<0.05).The level of hs-CRP was correlated with age,pre-pregnant bodymass-index(BMI),screening BMI,fasting blood glucose(FBG),fasting insulin(Fins),and HOMA-IR(r=0.222,0.649、0.862、0.923、0.935、0.941,P<0.05 or P<0.01),but was inversely related with HOMA-β(r=-0.872,P<0.01).Multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that HOMA-IR and HOMA-β was the most important effect factors of hs-CRP.Conclusion The level of hs-CRP increased in women with GDM.which was related to insulin resistance(IR)and insulin secretion,and it maybe participate in the pathogenesis of GDM.
