Identifying non-responders to a multifactorial intervention to improve glycemic control in elderly diabetic patients
2015
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).
