Core Tip

Core Tip: Twelve months of enhanced monitoring and facilitated access to hospital visits in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes resulted in substantial improvements in glycemic control. However, the glycemic background of patients had a significant impact on the success of glycemic control. The group with newly diagnosed diabetes showed the most favorable results (mean glycated hemoglobin at 12 months, 6.3%), whereas the group with persistently poorly controlled diabetes exhibited the worst results (mean glycated hemoglobin at 12 months, 9.7%), suggesting that new approaches are needed to improve treatment efficacy.
