Clinical follow-up observation for 34 type 2 diabetic patients with six-year intensive insulin therapy / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

The data collected from 34 type 2 diabetic patients receiving intensive insulin therapy for six years showed that the yearly mean HbA1C was less than 7.0％,and none of the patients showed severe hypoglycemia,occurrence or evident progression of retinopathy or nephropathy,and the islet β cell function gained improvement.The DQOL score,used to evaluate the quality of patients' life had no significant change during the observation ( P ＞0.05 ).It is satisfactory and safe to maintain long-term glycemic control with prolonged intensive insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes,and that such therapy does not induce untoward influence on the quality of diabetic patients life.
