Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes can lead to a multitude of health complications. Insulin therapy is recommended when patients are unable to reach their A1C goal with oral or noninsulin injectable diabetes medications. This study evaluated the clinical benefits of switching from multiple daily insulin injections to a wearable insulin delivery device (V-Go). A retrospective chart review was conducted on 44 patients who received prescriptions for the V-Go at two family medicine offices. Investigators found a significant reduction in A1C and daily insulin requirements with no impact on weight or BMI.
未控制的2型糖尿病会导致多种健康并发症。当患者使用口服或非胰岛素注射类糖尿病药物无法达到糖化血红蛋白(A1C)目标时,建议进行胰岛素治疗。本研究评估了从每日多次胰岛素注射转换为可穿戴胰岛素输送装置(V-Go)的临床益处。对在两家家庭医学诊所开具了V-Go处方的44名患者进行了回顾性病历审查。研究人员发现,糖化血红蛋白和每日胰岛素需求量显著降低,对体重或体重指数没有影响。
