摘要:

AbstractElderly patients taking sulphonylurea therapy were asked to provide regular five‐point home blood glucose profiles during a sixteen‐week period. The majority found finger pricking acceptable and the rate of successful recording was high (98%). Glycaemic control as assessed by HbA1 improved considerably during the study period (13% to 9.3%: p<0.0001). Home recording of blood glucose should not be restricted to younger insulin‐dependent patients. Elderly patients should be given the opportunity to experience the technique, which can contribute to improved education and glycaemic co

摘要:

AbstractOver a four‐year period, 45 patients commenced insulin therapy and received education in diabetic self‐care in their own homes, under the supervision of community nurses. No major problems were encountered and none required admission to hospital. Consistently good blood sugar control and weight‐gain back to premorbid or ideal body weight was achieved on average in approximately one and three months respectively. A questionnaire revealed that patients had initial reservations but, after going through the procedure, a majority stated a preference for domiciliary over hospital management. A small number of elderly, isolated or very nervous individuals would have been more suited to in‐patie

摘要:

AbstractHypoglycaemic coma is a common and usually rapidly reversible complication of treatment for diabetes mellitus. Long‐term neurological effects are not well‐documented, but it is known that permanent brain damage may result from severe hypoglycaemic coma(Ref 1). We report here the cases of three diabetics who presented over a period of eighteen months. In all three, an alcoholic binge was followed by prolonged coma which was difficult to reverse, with evidence of persisting neurological deficit after recov
