[Neuroprotector therapy of patients with decompensated diabetes mellitus type 1]

The influence of actovegin and reamberin on diabetic ketoacidotic crises has been studied on a group of 128 patients with severe diabetic ketoacidosis on the background of diabetes mellitus type 1 with disorders ranging from consciousness to coma or precoma states. Patients of group 1 received standard intensive therapy of diabetic ketoacidosis. In group 2, an intensive therapy for neuroprotection by actovegin was added. In group 3, patients received reamberin on the background of standard therapy. In group 4, the neuroprotective therapy using actovegin and reamberin was combined. The mental status was estimated upon recovery from coma, on 5th and 28th days from the beginning of treatment, by taking into consideration cognitive functions such as attention, memory, mentality. The results showed that the use of neuroprotective drugs, including the combination of actovegin and reamberin, allowed to the restore the compensatory-adaptive reaction of patients to ketoacidotic crisis, accelerate the restoration of consciousness within 19.2 +/- 3.8 h, restore the cognitive functions with exceeding norm for patients with diabetes mellitus in compensation stage and maintain their high level on 28th day after crisis.
