Good Glycaemic Control

Intensive treatment with insulin and sulfonylureas in older people with low HbA1c (<53mmol/mol) can increase the risk of hypoglycaemia, morbidity and mortality. Older people, particularly those with frailty and/or comorbidities are less likely to benefit from the long-term protective effects of good glycaemic control and are often at risk of inappropriate polypharmacy. A person-centred holistic approach to diabetes management must be adapted for older people living with diabetes.

Glycosylated Haemoglobins

Glycosylated haemoglobins and weights were recorded for 200 consecutive diabetic clinic attendere seen yearly for 5 years, 76 of whom were also seen up to 10 years from diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, representing 1380 patient years. Weight fluctuation (≥3 kg) was associated with increased final prevalence of hypertension, macroalbuminaemia and a raised creatinine (P≤ 0.002) but this relationship was abolished by correction for higher initial weight. Average giycaemia over 5/10 years [itself related to initial weight in women on tablets (N=53) but not others, and to waist but not waist/hip ratio], correlated with prevalence and severity of retinopathy (N=200; r=0.38, P≤0.0006) seen also in the subgroup of patients on tablets (N=145, P≤0.006). At HbA1 levels ≥10.5% an increased prevelance of retinopathy was seen in those on insulin (W=37, P≤0.001) and an increased prevalence of peripheral vascular disease was seen in men but not women (x2=2.87, P≤0.01) as well as in the prevalence of neuropathy. These findings suggest that good glycaemic control is of value in type 2 diabetes and less easily achieved in obesity.

Triglyceride Glucose Index

Objectives- To explore the association of Triglyceride Glucose index with HbA c and To evaluate their 1 potential role as predictors of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Design: observational study Setting: Conducted in the Department of General Medicine at Sri Devaraj Urs medical college, Kolar, Karnataka. Subjects: 98 diabetic subjects were studied and were evaluated for predicting glycemic control using triglyceride glucose index. Results: Among subjects with good glycaemic control (HbA1c <7%) mean Triglyceride was 136 + 21.78 mg/dl and Among subjects with poor glycaemic control (HbA1c >7%) mean Triglyceride was 190.35 + 62.94 mg/dl. there was a statistically signicant difference found between Triglyceride and HbA1c. Among subjects with good glycaemic control (HbA1c <7%) mean Triglyceride glucose index was 9275.06 + 2154.22 mg/dl and Among subjects with poor glycaemic control (HbA1c >7%) mean Triglyceride glucose index was 24223.63+ 15794.73mg/dl. there was a statistically signicant difference found between Triglyceride glucose index and HbA1c Conclusion: We can use Triglyceride glucose index in predicting glycaemic control in type 2 DM which is inexpensive and cost effective.
