COMPARISON OF TRIGLYCERIDE-GLUCOSE INDEX (TYG) AND HBA1C IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS TREATED AT VIET TIEP FRIENDSHIP HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is becoming a global health threat, with the number of new cases and complications increasing. Glycemic control is crucial to diabetes management, as it reduces the risk of complications. In recent years, numerous studies have demonstrated that the Triglyceride-Glucose Index (TyG) is a simple and cost-effective measure that can monitor blood sugar control and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the value of the TyG index in patients with T2DM treated at Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital – Haiphong, and to assess the association of the TyG index and HbA1C in these patients. Subjects and methods of study: 144 patients with type 2 diabetes treated at the Department of Internal Medicine 3, Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital, were divided into 2 types based on their HbA1C index (<7 và ≥7%). Method: cross-sectional description. Results: TyG index was 9.56 ± 0.87; TyG in patients with poor blood sugar control was higher than in the group with good blood sugar control. TyG was associated with HbA1c (r = 0.359; p < 0.001), cholesterol (r = 0.369; p < 0.001), (triglycerides (r = 0.718; p < 0.001) and TG/HDL-C index (r = 0.643; p < 0.001). Conclusion: TyG is a simple, inexpensive index to monitor glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
