PG - 33-43 LID - 10.1007/s42000-022-00404-8 [doi] AB - AIM: The aim was to analyze the influence of fasting plasma glucose-lowering rate (FPGLR) on plasma BNP levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with coronary microcirculation dysfunction (CMD) and to determine the optimal FPGLR for these patients. METHODS: A total of 170 T2DM patients who received intensive glucose-lowering therapy during hospitalization in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were enrolled. Ninety-two patients with CMD and 78 patients without CMD were assigned to a study and a control group, respectively. The study group was stratified as S1 (4.1 ~ 6.0 mmol.L(-1).day(-1)), S2 (2.1 ~ 4.0 mmol.L(-1).day(-1)), and S3 (
