Analysis of the insulin dosage and impact factors of intensive insulin treatment of type 2 diabetic patients / 中国糖尿病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the insulin dosage and analyze the dosage-impacting factors of intensive insulin treatment in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients.Methods Totally 1025 patients with intensive insulin treatment were included,the insulin dosage and clinical characteristics were taken down and analyzed.Results The mean insulin dosage was 39.30U/day,the insulin dosage per kg of body weight was 0.61U/Kg,among which the dosage of intermediate-acting insulin was 9.79 U/day,occupying 25.24%,while the pre-meal one was 29.51 U/day,occupying 74.76%.According to the insulin dosage per kg of body weight,patients were divided into low dosage group and high dosage one.The result showed significant difference in period of diabetes,BMI,HbA1c,and the highest weight level between the two groups.Correlation analysis showed that the average insulin dosage per kg of body weight was positively correlated with period of diabetes,HbA1c,fasting glucose level and LDL-C,while negatively correlated with BMI,fasting and postprandial C-peptide,the highest body weight level and HDL-C.Conclusions The average insulin dosage for type 2 diabetic patients is 39.30U/day,among which the dosage of intermediate-acting insulin occupies 25% while the pre-meal one occupies 75%.The insulin dosage is positively correlated with period of diabetes and HbA1c,while negatively correlated with BMI and the highest body weight level
