标题：Practical application of short-term intensive insulin therapy based on the concept of “treat to target” to reduce hypoglycaemia in routine clinical site
摘要：The aim is to devise a new short-term intensive insulin therapy (N-SIIT) based on the concept of "treat to target" to avoid hypoglycaemia and was applied it to various diabetic state. We determined dosage of 1 basal and 3 bolus "treat" insulin based on "target" blood glucose level and changed each insulin dose by small units (2 units) every day for 2 weeks. We evaluated the effects of N-SIIT in 74 subjects with type 2 diabetes (male 45, female 29, 64.9 ± 16.6 years old, HbA1c 10.4 ± 2.6%). Glargine U300 ("treat") and morning blood glucose level ("target") was significantly correlated with increasing insulin dose and decreasing blood glucose level in day 1-7, indicating that insulin amount was determined by target blood glucose level and lowered next target blood glucose level. Remission rates were 67.3% (Hypoglycaemia rate 5.6 %) in N-SIIT and 47.3% (Hypoglycaemia rate 38.1%) in conventional SIIT. Required amount of insulin would be automatically determined, depending on each patient pathophysiology and life style. This method is pretty simple, flexible and cheap, and provides information about the dynamic pathophysiological alteration of insulin resistance and glucotoxicity from the profile of blood glucose levels and insulin shot.
