ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects of sitagliptin phosphate combined with metformin on blood glucose control and microinflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:One hundred patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xingtai Medical College from March 2017 to March 2019 were randomly divided into observation group (50 cases) and control group (50 cases). The observation group was treated with sitagliptin phosphate combined with metformin for 8 weeks, while the control group was treated with metformin for 8 weeks. The changes of fasting blood-glucose (FBG) and blood glucose 2 h after meal (2 h-PBG ) in the two groups before and after treatment were observed, and the standard time of FBG and 2 h-PBG in the two groups were statistically analyzed. The levels of interleukin(IL)-1, IL-6 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hS-CRP) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the levels of FBG and 2 h-PBG in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group: (6.32 ± 0.83) mmol/L vs. (7.21 ± 1.03) mmol/L, (8.61 ± 1.26) mmol/L vs. (9.63 ± 1.12) mmol/L, and the standard time of FBG and 2 h-PBG in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group: (3.11 ± 0.86) weeks vs. (4.53 ± 1.31) weeks, (3.26 ± 0.36) weeks vs. (9.63 ± 1.12) weeks, and the differences were statisticlly significant ( P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of IL-1, IL-6 and hs-CRP in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group: (22.86 ± 4.07) ng/L vs. (35.13 ± 5.92) ng/L, (5.93 ± 0.84) ng/L vs. (9.67 ± 1.11) ng/L, (2.12 ± 0.25) ng/L vs. (3.57 ± 0.48) ng/L, and the differences were statistically significants ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Sitagliptin phosphate combined with metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes patients can rapidly and effectively control blood glucose and improve the state of microinflammation in patients.
