Zhenzhu Tiaozhi Capsule (贞术调脂胶囊) Combined with Conventional Western Medicine in the Treatment of 35 Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Real-world Pragmatic Study
(贞术调脂胶囊, ZTC) combined with conventional western medicine for elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods
2
With the design of real-world pragmatic controlled trial design, 65 elderly T2D patients were divided into conventional western medicine (WM) group (35 cases) and ZTC group (30 cases) according to patients' willingness. The WM group was given diet and exercise guidance and oral hypoglycemic medications according to the guideline, while the ZTC group was additionally given ZTC, 4 capsules each time (0.63 g each capsule), three times daily; the treatments in both groups lasted for 12 weeks. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were tested before and after treatment, and whether they were up to standards were assessed. The Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), the Zung self-rating depression scale (SDS), the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scale of glycolipid metabolism disease were assessed. The hypoglycemic events and adverse events were recorded during the treatment.
Results
2
The mean age of the ZTC group was higher, and the use of hypoglycemic medications before treatment were less than that of the WM group (
P
<0.05). The levels of FBG and HbA1c and the rates of these levels up to standards after treatment were not significantly different with those before treatment in both groups (
P
>0.05). The FBG level was lower, and the rate of the FBG level up to standard was higher in ZTC group than that in WM group after treatment (
P
<0.05). After adjusted with Logistic regression, the rate of the FBG level up to standard of ZTC group was 3.8 times that of WM group with 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-14.2,
P
=0.046. There were 3 (8.6%) cases of hypoglycemia in the ZTC group during treatment, which was lower than the 9 cases (30.0%) in the WM group (
P
=0.026). After treatment, the SAS score, SDS score, SF-36 score and the TCM syndrome scale score were significantly different with those before treatment in both groups (
P
<0.05); the SF-36 score and the TCM syndrome scale score of the ZTC group were significantly different with those of the WM group (
P
<0.05). There were no adverse events during treatment in both groups.
Conclusion
2
ZTC combined with conventional WM is superior to WM alone in lowering blood sugar, reducing hypoglycemia, improving depression and clinical symptoms, and increasing overall health condition, with multiple benefits and sound safety.
