Effect of acupoint catgut embedding combined with antidiabetic drugs on glucagon-like peptide-l level in diabetic patients
Objective:To investigate the effect of acupoint catgut embedding combined with antidiabetic drugs on the level of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)in diabetic patients.Methods:74diabetic patients were randomly divided into three groups:antidiabetic drugs combined with acupoint catgut embedding group,acupoint catgut embedding group and antidiabetic drugs group,and the level of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)was observed.Results:The levels of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)in the antidiabetic drugs combined with acupoint catgut embedding group has a statistically significant difference before and after treatment(P<0.05),and there were statistically significant differences between the antidiabetic drugs combined with acupoint catgut embedding group,acupoint catgut embedding group and antidiabetic drugs group after treatment(P<0.05).By comparing the levels of GLP-1 in the three groups of diabetes patients before and after treatment,the treatment effect was evalua-ted.The effective rate of the antidiabetic drugs combined with acupoint catgut embedding group was 92.00%,the effective rate of the acupoint catgut embedding group was 66.67%,and the effective rate of the antidiabetic drugs group was 80.00%.The effec-tive rate of the antidiabetic drugs combined with acupoint catgut embedding group was higher than the acupoint catgut embedding group and the antidiabetic drugs group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupoint catgut embedding com-bined with antidiabetic drugs has significant clinical effect on diabetes.This may be achieved by regulating patients'levels of glu-cagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1).
