Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of carbohydrate low absorption diet nursing on elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, analyzing their quality of life and incidence of hypoglycemia. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes at our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on different nursing measures: 50 cases in the control group received routine diabetes diet nursing, and 50 cases in the observation group received carbohydrate low absorption diet nursing. The quality of life, blood glucose levels, and hypoglycemia incidence were observed and compared. Results: After 3 months of nursing, the quality of life score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05); blood glucose indicators in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after 3 months of nursing (P < 0.05); the hypoglycemia incidence was 2.00% in the observation group, which was lower than the 18.00% in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Carbohydrate low absorption diet nursing can reduce the incidence of hypoglycemia in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, improve their quality of life, and enhance blood glucose control.
