Frequent and severe hypoglycaemia detected with continuous glucose monitoring in older institutionalised patients with diabetes.
2021
AbstractBackgroundLittle is known about the prevalence of hypoglycaemia in older people with diabetes. However, the HbA1c goal is ≥8% for institutionalised patients with treatments that can cause hypoglycaemia.PurposeWe aimed to assess the prevalence of hypoglycaemia with continuous glucose monitoring and to evaluate the link with HbA1C in older institutionalised patients with diabetes taking potentially hypoglycaemia-inducing drugs.DesignProspective, multicentre study carried out in six geriatric care centres in the Côte d’Or region of France between January 2019 and July 2020.Settings, subjects and methodsA FreeStyle Libre Pro® (FSLP) was worn for up to 14 days in blinded mode in 42 patie…
Glycemic Variability Assessment with a 14-Day Continuous Glucose Monitoring System: When and How Long to Measure MAGE (Mean Amplitude of Glucose Excu…
2021
Mean amplitude of glucose excursion (MAGE) is considered as the “gold standard” for assessing the short-term within-day glycemic variability (GV), which is an important component of overall glycemic control. A 14-day continuous glucose monitoring system is now widely used and allows easier assessment of GV. However, it is still unknown whether MAGE, usually calculated on a 48-hour period is identical whatever the time during the 14-day lifespan of the sensor and whether a longer time period might give additional information. We evaluated in 68 patients with type 1 diabetes, MAGE during three 2-day periods (day1-day3; day6-day8; day11-day13) and during periods of 3 days and 4 days. MAGE cal…
Are older patients with diabetes still being overtreated in French long-term care homes?
2020
Abstract Background Diabetes management has not been evaluated in French nursing homes (NHs) for 10 years. Objectives The present study aimed to compare the management of diabetes with guidelines in older patients living in NHs. Design Observational, retrospective and multicentre study carried out in 13 NH in the Cote d’Or region of France. Settings and subjects Between January and June 2018, all NH residents older than 65 years and known to have diabetes (n = 148) were included. Methods Epidemiological, clinical and biological data and diabetes characteristics were collected from the medical records. Results The average glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) was 7.2 ± 1.2%. In total, 51% of patients…
