436The purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effects of different interventions (1.continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion,2.multiple daily injections, 3.anti-hyperglycemic agents) on glycemic control, B-cell function and the remission rate in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.
ß-Cell dysfunction and decreased insulin sensitivity are the main pathophysiological defects responsible for the development of hyperglycemia. With continuous presence of insulin resistance, progressive loss of ß-cell function is the crucial defect. Hyperglycemia has deleterious effect on β-cell function, which is partially reversible by adequate glycemic control. In newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients with severe hyperglycemia, 2 weeks continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) can induce adequate glycemic control with improvement of β-cell function. Nearly half of the patients can maintain euglycemia longer than 12 months by transient CSII. The improvement of β-cell function, especially the restoration of the first-phase insulin response is related to sustained euglycemia in the newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. But it is unclear whether any other interventions (such as oral hypoglycemic agents and multiple daily injections) inducing optimal glycemic control in a short period of time can have the same effect. As a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study will be needed to further prove and clarify the findings.
Patients in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion group received Human Insulin (Novolin-R, Novo Nordisk) with an insulin pump (H-Tron Plus V100; Disetronic Medical System, Burgdorf, Switzerland);
Patients in MDI group were treated with pre-meal Novolin-R, and Human Insulin NPH (Novolin-N, Novo Nordisk) at bedtime. Initial insulin doses were 0.4-0.5 IU/kg and total daily doses were divided into 50% of basal and 50% of bolus injection in CSII group and 30%-20%-20%-30% in multiple daily insulin injection group
In oral hpoglycemic agents group, the patients with 20 kg/m2<BMI≤25kg/m2 were initiated with Gliclazide (Diamicron, Servier) 80mg Bid (maximum to 160mg Bid), the patients with 25kg/m2<BMI≤35kg/m2 were initiated with Metformin (Glucophage, BMS) 0.5 Bid (maximum to 2.0g/d), the combination of Diamicron and Glucophage was used in patients who could not achieve glycaemic control goal with one OHA or with FPG≥11.1mmol/l at randomization
