Short-term blood glucose control improves neurovascular coupling in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2
Objective To investigate the effect of short-term blood glucose control on neurovascular coupling in pa-tients with diabetes mellitus type 2(T2DM).Methods The patients with T2DM who were admitted to Department of En-docrinology,The Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University,from December 1,2021 to May 30,2023 were consecutively included in this study,and according to whether examination was performed before or after blood glucose control,they were divided into pre-blood sugar control T2DM group(T2DM-Pre-c group)and post-blood sugar control T2DM group(T2DM-Pro-c group).Healthy volunteers matched for age and sex were enrolled as healthy control(HC)group.Transcranial Doppler was used to monitor cerebral blood flow parameters,including mean blood flow velocity(Vm)of the middle cerebral artery during elbow flexion,and the T2DM group and the HC group were compared in terms of the changes in cerebral blood flow parameters after blood glucose control.Results A total of 52 T2DM patients and 36 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study.Compared with the HC group,the T2DM-Pre-c group had significantly higher exercise-induced pulsatility index,resistance index,and time to peak of Vm(TTP-Vm)(all P<0.05).The T2DM-Pre-c group had a significantly lower Vm slope than the HC group(P=0.031).The T2DM-Pro-c group had a significant in-crease in Vm slope and a significant reduction in TTP-Vm after blood glucose control(P<0.05).Conclusion Impair-ment of neurovascular coupling is observed in patients with T2DM during the state of hyperglycemia,and short-term blood glucose control can improve neurovascular coupling.
