Observational study on stability of within-day glycemic variability of type 2 diabetes inpatients treated with decoctions of traditional Chinese medicine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Within-day glycemic variability (GV), characterized by frequent and significant fluctuations in blood glucose levels, is a growing concern in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemia and potentially higher long-term mortality rates. Robust clinical evidence is needed to determine whether traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoctions can be a beneficial addition to the management of within-day GV in this patient population.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study utilized data from adult inpatients diagnosed with T2DM admitted to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Kaifeng. The primary outcome investigated was the association between the use of TCM decoctions and improved stability
