چکیده
Materials and methods This is a prospective, intervention, non-randomized, phase IV study. We included patients over 60 yrs. old, both sexes, with HbA1c>8.5% using oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin (IN), then we replaced SY by PD. IN used were NPH and Regular, all patients have received a blood glucose monitor, lancet tapes, capillary blood glucose tests (3 tests/day). HbA1c was measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Patients were seen monthly. We considered “responders” (R) who showed improvement in HbA1c of more than 0.4% after first 3 months (as used on clinical practice).

متن کاملComparing Effects of Continuous Insulin Infusion with or without Subcutaneous Glargine Insulin on Glycemic Control in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
OBJECTIVE: Hyperglycemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients following coronary artery bypass grafting. Tight glycemic control in perioperative period can reduce these events. The goal of this study was to determine whether combination of continuous infusion and subcutaneous glargine as a basal insulin could improve glycemic control. MATERIAL AND METHODS:...
