Abstract
Objective. Diabetes, a common endocrine and metabolic disease in clinical practice, generally manifests a certain defect in insulin secretion due to several factors, thereafter leading to a metabolic disorder such as hyperglycemia. This study was conducted to explore the clinical effects of repaglinide combined with exercise rehabilitation on improving the blood glucose of patients with diabetes. Methods. In this retrospective study, 100 patients with diabetes treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were assessed for eligibility and recruited. They were assigned at a ratio of 1 : 1 to receive either repaglinide (control group) or repaglinide plus exercise rehabilitation (experimental group). Outcome measures include fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, time to normal blood glucose, blood glucose fluctuation, insulin dosage, adverse reactions, and blood glucose adequate rate. Results. All eligible patients showed similar pretreatment fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and 2 h postprandial blood glucose (
). After treatment, repaglinide plus exercise rehabilitation resulted in lower levels of fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and 2 h postprandial blood glucose versus repaglinide alone (
). Repaglinide plus exercise rehabilitation was associated with a significantly shorter time to normal blood glucose and a milder fluctuation versus repaglinide (
). The incidence of adverse reactions and blood glucose adequate rate was 6% and 94% in the experimental group and 50% and 52% in the control group, respectively (
). Conclusion. Repaglinide plus exercise rehabilitation results in effective blood glucose control and reduced incidence of adverse reactions and yields a promising efficacy, so it is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
