Objective: To analyze the clinical effect of targeted nursing intervention on elderly patients with diabetes who are difficult to control blood sugar in ICU. Methods: The data of 80 elderly patients with diabetes who received treatment in the ICU of our hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were collected. Among them, 40 patients (the reference group) received routine care from January 2023 to June 2023, and 40 patients (the experimental group) received targeted nursing intervention from July 2023 to December 2023. Evaluate the clinical effectiveness of targeted nursing interventions by comparing the differences in fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and quality of life between two groups of patients. Result: The blood glucose indicators of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); The quality of life of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Targeted nursing intervention can effectively improve the clinical treatment effect of elderly patients with diabetes who are difficult to control blood sugar in ICU, and it is worth popularizing in clinical nursing.
