Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To prospectively examine glycemic management (HbA1c) over 48 weeks, as assessed by HbA1c, according to sarcopenia risk status using the finger-ring test in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, the proportion and characteristics of patients at risk of sarcopenia will be investigated.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Cross-tabulation of worsening vs improvement/maintenance groups based on HbA1c category classification in 0.5% increments from baseline to 48 weeks (comparison between sarcopenia risk group vs no-risk group, and subgroups by fall history)

Key secondary outcomes

- Cross-tabulation of worsening vs improvement/maintenance groups based on HbA1c category classification in 0.5% increments from baseline to 48 weeks.
- HbA1c values and changes from baseline at each assessment (12, 24, 36, 48 weeks)
- Proportion of patients with HbA1c >=7% or >=8% at each assessment.
- Proportion with changes in antidiabetic medications from baseline to each assessment, including addition/switching or dose increase.
- Time to first change in antidiabetic medication from baseline to week 48; participants without a change will be counted as 48 weeks.
- Proportion and cumulative number of responses reporting hypoglycemia at each assessment.
- Proportion and cumulative number of responses reporting falls at each assessment.
- Proportion answering yes to each item of the Kihon Checklist at baseline and week 48.
