Do patients with diabetes mellitus benefit using Accutrend® GCT?
Yes! First, you can monitor glycemic control of your diabetic patients with Accutrend® GCT. Second, you can easily monitor the main lipid risk factors for coronary heart disease in this high-risk patient group. Measuring postprandial triglyceride levels is particularly important in type 2 diabetics, since most of them have a lipid intolerance (higher increase postprandial triglycerides and slower return to basal levels) although fasting triglyceride levels are below 200 mg/dL (2.3 mmol/L).
