ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the inducing factors of diabetic ketosis(DK)in type 2 diabetes mellitus( T2DM) patients for more effective prevention. Methods A total of 545 T2DM patients with DK who received treatment in Zhejiang Provincial Diabetes Prevention and Treatment Center from June 2011 to June 2015 were enrolled,which contains 297 newly- diagnosed ketosis - prone diabetic(KPD)patients(KPD group)and 248 T2DM patients with DK(T2DM group),the etiological factors and clinical characteristics were analyzed retrospectively. Results The leading causes of DK were long term nonintervetion(71. 71% )and infection(15. 15% )in KPD group,while unadjusted therapeutic regimen(39. 91% )and break - off(22. 98% )and infection(20. 97% )were the leading cause in T2DM group. Compared with T2DM group, patients in KPD group were younger(P ﹤ 0. 01),and had lower BMI index(P ﹤ 0. 01),higher HbA1c level(P ﹤ 0. 01), more serious ketosis patients(urine ketone≥ ﹢ ﹢ ,P ﹤ 0. 05)and more DKA patients(P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusion T2DM patients with ketosis could not be ignored,especially the KPD patients. More attention should be paid to diabetes health education,and screening of high - risk group and long term follow - up in patients with T2DM are effective means to reduce the incidence of DK in T2DM.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the awareness status of diabetic nephropathy( DN)and its influence factors among diabetes patients. Methods A total of 1236 cases of diabetes were investigated on the awareness of DN and Logistic regression was used to analyze its influence factors. Results The awareness rate of DN was 77. 67% and its influence factors were age,education level,monthly household income and available diabetic health education( OR=1. 15,1. 80, 1. 41and 0. 98 respectively,all P< 0. 05). Moreover,the awareness status of DN prevention was at a low level. Among the 9 methods to prevent DN,only had 4 methods the awareness rate of which was over 80%. Conclusion Health education on DN control and prevention among diabetes patients should be emphasized.
