Objectives.We performed continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to define the features of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) before and after Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) therapy.Methods.This was a retrospective analysis. Newly diagnosed T2D patients (106) were admitted from eight centers in China. They were divided into a younger patient group (<60 years) and an older patient group (≥60 years). Each group was further divided into male and female patients. CSII therapy was maintained for 3 weeks after the glycemic target was reached. CGM was performed 2 times before and after completion of insulin treatment.Results.CGM data showed the expected significant improvement of mean amplitude glycemic excursion (MAGE) with CSII therapy. The older patients had lower hourly glucose concentrations from 0200 to 0700 o’clock compared to the younger patients at baseline. Surprisingly, in the older patient group, the male patients had a potential risk of hypoglycemia after CSII therapy, especially during periods from 2300 to 2400 and 0400 to 0600.Conclusions.Our data suggested that older male patients with newly diagnosed T2D may have lower nocturnal glucose concentrations. This may potentially increase the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia during CSII therapy. This study was registered with Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, numberCliCTR-TRC-11001218.

Objective. To compare the effect of the rapid-acting insulin analogues (RAIAs) aspart (NovoRapid) and lispro (Prandilin) on glycemic variations by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in patients within newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and metformin intensive therapy. Methods. This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial. A total of 110 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM and with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c%) above 9% was hospitalized and randomly divided into two groups: group Asp (NovoRapid group) and group Lis (Prandilin group). They all received CSII and metformin therapy. Treatments were maintained for 2-3 weeks after the glycaemic target was reached. C-peptide and insulin and fructosamine were determined. CGMS was continuously applied for 4 days after reaching the glycemic target. Results. There were no significant differences in daily dosages of insulin, fasting plasma C-P and 2 h postprandial C-P and insulin, and fructosamine at the baseline and endpoint between the groups Asp and Lis. No significant differences were seen in the 24 h mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), 24 h mean blood glucose (MBG), the standard deviation of the MBG (SDBG), fasting blood glucose, number of glycemic excursion (NGE), and the incidence of hypoglycemia between the two groups. Similarly, no significant differences were found in areas under the curve (AUC) of glucose above 10.0 mmol/L or the decremental area over the curve (AOC) of glucose below 3.9 mmol/L between the two groups. Conclusions. Lispro and aspart had the similar ability to control the glycemic variations in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number ChiCTR-IPR-17010338.

The purpose of the study was to comprehensively analyze glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients who were first given glucose-reducing therapy. Glidiab MB and Diabeton MB caused a comparable reduction in glycemic control parameters: the level of HbA1c, fasting glycemia, and mean glycemic levels as shown by the results of its continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) study. The lower glycemic level was not accompanied by weight gain and it improved lipid spectrum parameters. The readings of monthly self-control of glycemia were transformed to its deviation from the goal range (ADRR) that and the hyper- and hypoglycemia indices calculated from the continuous glycemic control were used to evaluate glycemic lability not reflected by HbA1c. In this connection ADRR may be used to evaluate the efficiency of sugar-reducing therapy and in the examined groups it proved to be low, which generally reflects the stable course of the disease in new cases of T2D. The mean glycemic value calculated from CGMS data virtually coincides with the mean glycemia estimated from glycemic self-control readings both on the day of continuous glucose monitoring and in the month to come before and after CGMS study. In this connection the latter is justified only when the continuous glycemic curve undergoes a complex analysis. The complex analysis of the continuous glycemic curve includes symmetrization of the continuous glycemia scale; calculation of hyper- and hypoglycemic indices, hourly diurnal hyperglycemic index and hourly glycemic variations (Poincare method). The use of this procedure could compare the glucose-reducing effect of the two drugs within the framework of a short-term study.
