简要总结
Certain groups of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) appear to have higher risk of hypoglycaemia. Periodic use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), has been suggested as a method to detect hypoglycaemia events in certain subgroups of patients with high risk of hypoglycaemia.
The aim of the present study is to contribute to the identification of subgroups of T2DM patients with high risk of hypoglycemia events, based on periodic use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM).
详细描述
Some studies successfully achieved standard glycemic targets without increased hypoglycaemia in older adults and other groups of patients with high risk of hypoglycaemia events.
However these trials usually exclude adults with poor health and comorbidities, when they support the concept that intensive strategies for selected individuals can be effective and safe. The compendium of results from these and other published analyses suggests that although some patients may benefit from tighter targets, many are unable to reach these targets, and aggressive therapy may be harmful to some patients without the benefit of reducing complications.
Although avoidance of hypoglycaemia is a critical treatment strategy, overall glucose control remains an important goal. The present treatment guidelines fail to locate the proper subgroup of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), that could be benefited of glycemic control balanced with the adverse effects of glucose-lowering medications and a patient's age, overall health status, and functional and intellectual capacity. The aim of the present study is to contribute to the identification of subgroups of T2DM patients with high risk of hypoglycemia events, based on periodic use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM).
