Objective:To evaluate the short-term economic effects of four kinds of premixed insulin in newly diagnosed type 2 dia-betes mellitus. Methods:A total of 120 newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into four groups according to the kind of premixed insulin, group A was treated with insulin aspart 30 injection, group B was treated with insulin lispro 25 injec-tion, group C was treated with isophane protamine biosynthetic human insulin injection and group D was treated with protamine zinc re-combinant human insulin injection. The course of treatment was three months. The therapy efficacy was assessed by the remission rate in three months. The short-term economic effect was evaluated by the cost-minimization analysis method. Results:The remission rate of group A, B, C and D respectively was 48. 39%, 48. 28%, 51. 61% and 51. 72% without significant difference (P>0. 05). The average cost per person of the four groups was 1195. 52, 1202. 41, 1220. 69 and 1258. 84 yuan, and the average medicine cost per person was 750. 52, 689. 41, 754. 69 and 764. 34 yuan, respectively. There was no significant difference in cost among the four groups (P >0. 05). Conclusion:All the four kinds of premixed insulin can be used for the starting treatment with the similar total cost, and in relative terms, aspart 30 injection and insulin lispro 25 injection are better for the initial treatment of diabetes.

Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of caregivers' perception of nurses' empowerment behavior in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) , and to provide scientific basis for focusing on and efficiently empowering caregivers of children with T1DM.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. A total of 360 children with T1DM who were admitted to 2 tertiary hospitals in Zhejiang Province from January 2019 to May 2020 were selected by the convenient sampling method. General information questionnaire, Patient Perceptions of Patient-Empowering Nurse Behaviors Scale (PPPNBS) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used to investigate and analyze the influencing factors. A total of 360 questionnaires were issued and 347 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective response rate of 96.4%.Results:The PPPNBS score of caregivers of 347 children with T1DM was (185.85±50.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the course of the disease, the age of the caregiver, the education background of caregivers and self-efficacy sense were influencing factors of perception of empowerment behavior of caregivers of children with T1DM ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The perception of caregivers of T1DM children with nurses' empowerment behavior is at a moderate level. The course of the disease, age of caregivers, the education background of caregivers and self-efficacy are the influencing factors in perception of caregivers' empowerment behaviors of T1DM children. Medical staff should formulate targeted intervention measures based on the influencing factors of the perception of empowerment behaviors to improve the perception of nurses' empowerment behaviors by caregivers of patients.
