Abstract

To compare the degree of glycemic excursions by dynamic glucose monitoring in type 2 diabetes in the elderly when their HbA_1c≤6. 5, The mean blood glucose level and hypoglycemia incidence were observed. The amplitude of glycemic excursions revealed by DGMS was significantly lower in insulin glargine group than in mixed insulin group (P<0.05). The incidence of hypoglycemia were lower in glargine group than in mixed insulin group(P<0.05).
