Characteristics and significance of fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin changes in acute exacerbation stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases

Objective To understand the characteristics and significance of fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin changes in the acute exacerbation stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.Methods The fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin of the acute exacerbation stage(40 patients) and the stable stage(40 patients) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases were tested and compared to the normal control group(40 patients).Results The blood glucose of the acute exacerbation stage group was significantly higher than that of the stable stage group and the normal control group respectively,with statistically significant difference(Р 0.05),but the glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose were not significantly correlated(Р 0.05).Conclusion Acute hyperglycemia is prone to occur in the acute exacerbation stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,which is harmful to the prognosis of disease.
