TLDR
Patient satisfaction was impacted more positively by improved QoL, reduced glucose variability, and better glycemic control with a basal-bolus regimen than negatively by the burden of additional injections, thereby facilitating insulin intensification and the ability to achieve HbA1c below 7.0%.
Abstract
Context: In patients with diabetes, intraday glucose variability might predict health outcomes independently from glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Objective: Our objective was to evaluate patient satisfaction (PS), quality of life (QoL), glycemic control, and variability during insulin intensification to HbA1c below 7.0%. Patients, Design, and Setting: Eighty-two type 1 and 306 insulin-treated type 2 diabetes patients (47% male; age 54 ± 11 yr; HbA1c = 7.8 ± 0.7%) participated in this multicenter, randomized, crossover trial at 52 U.S. centers. Interventions: Interventions included insulin glargine plus premeal glulisine (n = 192) vs. twice-daily premix 75/25 or 70/30 analog insulin (n = 196) for 12 wk and crossed to the alternate arm for 12 wk. Main Outcome Measures: Main outcome measures included PS and QoL questionnaires, 3-d continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and HbA1c every 4–8 wk. Results: Mean ± se HbA1c change was −0.39 ± 0.09% for glargine-glulisine and −0.05 ± 0.09% for premix (P < 0.0001). Th...

Glycemic Variability and Diabetes Complications: Does It Matter? Simply Put, There Are Better Glycemic Markers!

TL;DR: There is universal agreement that HbA1c is the current gold standard for the primary clinical target, but there is no consensus as to whether other proposed glycemic metrics hold promise to provide additional clinical data or whether there should be additional targets beyond Hb a1c.

Clinical and Patient-Centered Outcomes in Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes 3 Years After Randomization to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery Versus Intensive Lifestyle Management: The SLIMM-T2D Study.

TL;DR: Three years after randomization to RYGB versus IMWM, surgery produced greater weight loss, lower HbA1c, reduced cardiovascular risk, and improvements in obesity-related quality of life in obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Association of glycaemia with macrovascular and microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes (UKPDS 35): prospective observational study

TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes the risk of diabetic complications was strongly associated with previous hyperglycaemia, with the lowest risk being in those with HbA1c values in the normal range (<6.0%).

Assessment of quality-of-life outcomes.

TL;DR: There has been a nearly exponential increase in the use of quality-of-life evaluation as a technique of clinical research since 1973, when only 5 articles listed “quality of life” as a reference key word in the MEDLINE data base; during the subsequent five-year periods there were 195, 273, 490, and 1252 such articles.

Activation of oxidative stress by acute glucose fluctuations compared with sustained chronic hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Glucose fluctuations during postprandial periods and, more generally, during glucose swings exhibited a more specific triggering effect on oxidative stress than chronic sustained hyperglycemia, suggesting that interventional trials in type 2 diabetes should target not only hemoglobin A1c and mean glucose concentrations but also acute glucose swings.
