Abstract:To compare the influences of insulin detemir and insulin glargine on serum uric acid, insulin resistance, interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and Toll-like receptor(TLR-4) expression in treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and gout, then analyze the mechanism of different insulins on gout. Methods124 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with acute gout attack into were prospectively selected and divided into control and observation groups, 62 patients were in each group. The control group was given insulin glargine and the observation group was given insulin detemir for 12 weeks. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin(FINS), postprandial 2 h blood glucose (2hBG), postprandial 2 h insulin (2hINS) and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)before and after treatment were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and then insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) was calculated.The hypoglycemic event, body weight and insulin dosage, the serum uric acid, IL-1β and TLR-4 levels were compared between the two groups before and after treatment too. ResultsAfter treatment, the levels of FBG, FINS, 2hBG, 2hINS, HbAc and HOMA-IR in the two groups were all significantly improved compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the improvement of the above indicators between the two groups (P>0.05). The hypoglycemic incidence and body weight increasement in observation group were significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of sUA, IL-1β and TLR-4 in the two groups were lower than those before treatment, and they in observation group were significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05). ConclusionThe effects are equal on blood glucose control and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and gout by the former has less hypoglycemia events and body weight gain, serum uric acid and IL-1 β/TLR-4 activation, which could take more benefit of gout control.
