Summary

The present randomized control trial sought to establish glucose fluctuation as an important target for management on metabolic index, neurologic function, and quality of life in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and cerebral infarction (CI).

Conditions

  • Type 2 Diabetes and Cerebral Infarction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Control group

During hospitalization: 1. Monitor subjects' blood glucose; 2. One-on-one education: Education includes skills related to diabetes self-management, basic knowledge of diabetes, diet, exercise, medication, blood glucose monitoring, risks of glucose fluctuations; 3. Teaching patients and their families to use blood glucose meters and correctly record results. The diabetes specialist nurses demonstrate correct methods for self-monitoring blood glucose. During discharge: Patients were given standard hospital discharge instructions and were asked to monitor their blood glucose 5 times daily after discharge. Follow-up: If a patient FPG was less than 7 mmol/L, 2hPG was less than 10 mmol/L, or A1c was less than 7%, no intervention would be implemented. If one of these items was above the numbers, a referral would be made to an endocrinologist for medication adjustment. Participants received telephone follow-up one week after discharge, thereafter, follow-up were conducted once a month.

BEHAVIORAL

Glucose fluctuation targeted intervention

We set achieving goals for this intervention group (both A1c\<7% and LAGE\<80mg/dl). Participants received the same usual care as the control group; though additional attention was paid to glucose fluctuation on the basis of glucose control. Even the patient's FPG, 2hPG, and A1c were all well controlled, If his or her LAGE≥80mg/dl, we would carefully assess the patient's diet and exercise and daily activities first. If it was caused by lifestyle or events, the researchers worked with patients to find a self-care behavioral solution for the glucose fluctuation, and set behavioral goals, otherwise, the researchers would refer the patient to an endocrinologist for medication adjustment. During next follow-up, we evaluated the glucose fluctuation and target completion.
