Introduction. Type 2 diabetes is a significant medical problem. The solution to this problem lies not only in lowering the patient’s blood glucose level, but also in preventing the complications of diabetes, influencing insulin resistance and normalizing body weight.Aim. To develop an effective and safe treatment regimen for elderly women with type 2 diabetes, which is aimed at compensating carbohydrate metabolism, improving lipid metabolism and anthropometric parameters.Materials and methods. The study involved 80 women with type 2 diabetes aged 60 to 74 years, who were divided into 2 groups of 40 people. Group 1 included patients with type 2 diabetes receiving traditional therapy for type 2 diabetes. Patients of the group 2 received the method of treatment developed by us, including, in addition to the traditional regimen, the drug Subetta®, cholecalciferol drops. All women collected complaints and anamnesis, assessed anthropometric parameters, glucose, glycated hemoglobin, vitamin D, lipid profile.Results. All patients with type 2 diabetes initially were not compensated for carbohydrate metabolism, had abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, and vitamin D deficiency. Anthropometric parameters significantly improved, glucose and HbA1c levels decreased to target values in patients of group 2 after 6 months against the background of the use of Subetta® and cholecalciferol. Also in this group, the indicators of lipid metabolism improved: the levels of cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides decreased, and the levels of HDL increased. Vitamin D levels reached target range. No episodes of hypoglycemia were recorded.Conclusions. The addition of Subetta® and cholecalciferol to the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes contributed to the achievement of target indicators of carbohydrate metabolism, improved lipid profile, and weight loss. This method of treatment is well tolerated and has a low risk of hypoglycemia, which is especially important for elderly patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
