AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to obtain epidemiological data on self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in type 2 diabetes and to investigate the relationship of SMBG with disease-related morbidity and mortality.
The German multicentre Retrolective Study 'Self-monitoring of Blood Glucose and Outcome in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes' (ROSSO) followed 3,268 patients from diagnosis of type 2 diabetes between 1995 and 1999 until the end of 2003. Endpoints were diabetes-related morbidity (non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, foot amputation, blindness or haemodialysis) and all-cause mortality. SMBG was defined as self-measurement of blood glucose for at least 1 year.
During a mean follow-up period of 6.5 years, 1,479 patients (45.3%) began SMBG prior to an endpoint and an additional 64 patients started SMBG after a non-fatal endpoint. Interestingly, many patients used SMBG while being treated with diet or oral hypoglycaemic drugs (808 of 2,515, 32%). At baseline, the SMBG cohort had higher mean fasting blood glucose levels than the non-SMBG cohort (p<0.001), suggesting that insufficient metabolic control was one reason for initiating SMBG. This was associated with a higher rate of microvascular endpoints. However, the total rate of non-fatal events, micro- and macrovascular, was lower in the SMBG group than in the non-SMBG group (7.2 vs 10.4%, p=0.002). A similar difference was found for the rate of fatal events (2.7 vs 4.6%, p=0.004). Cox regression analysis identified SMBG as an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality, with adjusted hazard ratios of 0.68 (95% CI 0.51-0.91, p=0.009) and 0.49 (95% CI 0.31-0.78, p=0.003), respectively. A better outcome for both endpoints was also observed in the SMBG cohort when only those patients who were not receiving insulin were analysed.
CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: SMBG was associated with decreased diabetes-related morbidity and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes, and this association remained in a subgroup of patients who were not receiving insulin therapy. SMBG may be associated with a healthier lifestyle and/or better disease management.
目的/假设:本研究旨在获取2型糖尿病患者血糖自我监测(SMBG)的流行病学数据,并调查SMBG与疾病相关发病率和死亡率之间的关系。
德国多中心回顾性研究“2型糖尿病患者的血糖自我监测与结局”(ROSSO)对1995年至1999年间诊断为2型糖尿病的3268例患者进行随访,直至2003年底。观察终点为糖尿病相关发病率(非致命性心肌梗死、中风、足部截肢、失明或血液透析)和全因死亡率。SMBG定义为至少1年的自我血糖测量。
在平均6.5年的随访期内,1479例患者(45.3%)在观察终点前开始进行SMBG,另有64例患者在非致命性终点后开始SMBG。有趣的是,许多患者在接受饮食或口服降糖药物治疗时使用SMBG(2515例中的808例,32%)。在基线时,SMBG队列的平均空腹血糖水平高于非SMBG队列(p<0.001),这表明代谢控制不佳是启动SMBG的一个原因。这与微血管终点发生率较高相关。然而,SMBG组的非致命事件(微血管和大血管)总发生率低于非SMBG组(7.2%对10.4%,p=0.002)。在致命事件发生率方面也发现了类似差异(2.7%对4.6%,p=0.004)。Cox回归分析确定SMBG是发病率和死亡率的独立预测因素,调整后的风险比分别为0.68(95%CI 0.51-0.91,p=0.009)和0.49(95%CI 0.31-0.78,p=0.003)。当仅分析未接受胰岛素治疗的患者时,在SMBG队列中也观察到两个观察终点都有更好的结局。
结论/解读:SMBG与2型糖尿病患者糖尿病相关发病率和全因死亡率降低相关,并且这种关联在未接受胰岛素治疗的患者亚组中仍然存在。SMBG可能与更健康的生活方式和/或更好的疾病管理有关。
