Brief summary

Diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN) is a common chronic complication that reduces survival in patients with diabetes. Epidemiological surveys have shown that the prevalence of DCAN is 25-75% in people with type 2 diabetes. The onset of DCAN is insidious and easy to be ignored in the early stage. With the progression of the disease, the following clinical symptoms gradually appear, including reduced heart rate variability, exercise intolerance, resting tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, painless myocardial infarction and even sudden death, which seriously endanger the life and health of type 2 diabetes patients. Existing literature has shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) can improve diabetic peripheral neuropathy and diabetic cognitive dysfunction, but there are few studies on improving diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Insulin resistance is an important risk factor for DCAN. Patients with type 2 diabetes are characterized by insulin resistance, and GLP-1RA is recognized as a drug to improve insulin resistance and control blood sugar in patients with diabetes. In this study, GLP-1RA was used to intervene patients with type 2 diabetes, and the changes in blood sugar control and insulin resistance status of patients were followed up. Special attention was paid to the improvement of autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients.

Interventions

The GLP-1RA intervention group was given subcutaneous injection of GLP-1RA for 3 months, while the control group was not given GLP-1RA intervention

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
heart rate variability(HRV)baseline and 12 weeks laterAll participants were given ambulatory electrocardiogram.The time domain analysis and frequency domain analysis of heart rate variability are included in the holter ECG report.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
30/15 ratiobasline and 12 weeks laterThe heart rate in lying position was measured, and the R-R interval in more than 30 beats was measured after standing, and the ratio between the longest R-R interval in the 25-35 beats and the shortest R-R interval in the 10-15 beats after standing was calculated
Valsalva actionbasline and 12 weeks laterAfter deep inhalation, hold your breath as much as possible, and then blow air into the modified sphygmomanometer to keep the pressure of the sphygmomanometer at 40mmHg, continue for 10-15s, and then relax for 1 minute, a total of 3 minutes. At the same time, ECG was recorded to record the ratio of maximum heart rate to minimum heart rate
the difference between lying and Orthostatic blood pressurebasline and 12 weeks laterBlood pressure was measured in the supine position. The patient was asked to stand immediately, and blood pressure was measured at the first and fifth minutes
grip strength testsbasline and 12 weeks laterFirst, the basic blood pressure and the maximum grip strength were measured, and the blood pressure was measured after 5 minutes of continuous hard clenching with the grip apparatus (the force used was 30% of the maximum grip strength measured), and the blood pressure difference was calculated
BMIbasline and 12 weeks laterIt is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kg by their height in meters squared
FBGbasline and 12 weeks laterFasting glucose
