Brief summary
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a common way to assess glycemic control in diabetes management. Multiple times of blood glucose measurements by fingerstick in the same day are of tough challenge to it. The changes and variations of glucose excursion in senior diabetics with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)involve a safety issue besides glycated hemoglobin (GHb) value. The goal of this study is to explore modified SMBG protocols for precisely monitoring and predicting glycemic excursion, variability in senior type 2 diabetics with CAD.
Interventions
Control Group Patients will receive conventional care and keep on their usual SMBG methods. Additionally, each patient will also wear a CGMS device for 72h in the first week and the last week, respectively. SMBG-4 Group Capillary glucose level is measured using finger stick method by 4 times (fasting plus post-meals) every other day. Additionally, each patient will also wear a CGMS device for 72h in the first week and the last week, respectively. SMBG-7 Group Capillary glucose level is measured using finger stick method by 7 times (fasting, pre-meals, post-meals and bedtime altogether) every other day. Additionally, each patient will also wear a CGMS device for 72h in the first week and the last week, respectively.
In this study, according to the protocol, all the patients will follow their prespecified SMBG methods and periodically visit doctor, but therapies will not be adjusted unless they experience severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia episodes. The expected duration of the trial is 12 weeks.
