The Exploration of Optimal Treatment Scheme in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled With Glargine

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Glargine is commonly used in insulin supplemental therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes(T2D) at present. However, many patients who treated with glargine still have poor blood glucose control because of insufficient insulin dose or improper oral medication. This study aims to investigate the optimal treatment scheme in order to improve the blood control in these patients. Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) will be used to assess the blood glucose control at baseline and the moment when the patients achieved standard. Oral medications will be standardized first, and insulin doses will be adjusted according to blood glucose values obtained by self-monitoring. Glycemic control will be considered as reaching target of glucose if the fasting capillary blood glucose is less than 6.1 mmol/L. The maximum period of blood glucose adjustment will be 1 months. Oral medication, the type and dosage of insulin, exercise status, insulin injection skill evaluation, islet function, duration of diabetes, complications and insulin antibodies will be recorded in detail at baseline, reaching target of glucose standard and 3 months after reaching target of glucose.
