BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous studies have investigated the association between ethnicity and processes of care and intermediate outcomes of diabetes, but there are limited population-based studies available. The aim of this study was to use population-based data to investigate the relationships between ethnicity and glycaemic control in men and women with diabetes mellitus living in Scotland. ...

AIM To identify, predict and validate distinct glycaemic trajectories among patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes treated in primary care, as a first step towards more effective patient-centred care. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study in two cohorts, using routinely collected individual patient data from primary care practices obtained from two large Dutch diabetes patient reg...

Low glycaemic index (LGI) foods have been proposed as potential means to decrease postprandial glucose excursions and thus to improve diabetes management. We modulated glucose availability of cereal products and thus their glycaemic index to study the metabolic effect of LGI foods on daylong glucose control acutely and in the long term following a 5-week GI intervention diet in free-living subj...

Background: Diabetes mellitus has emerged as a major health care problem of India. The real burden of diabetes is due to its associated complications which lead to increased morbidity and mortality. An accurate diagnosis of diabetes and level of glycaemic control in known diabetics is recommended for the treatment and prevention of complication in the population. Aims & Objective: To identify t...

Background: This study investigated the effects of age, gender, socio-economic status, smoking hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, Body Mass Index (BMI), Glycaemic control (HbA1c) and dyslipidaemia in type 2 diabetes a population-based analysis.

SETTING Maternity hospital in Dublin, Ireland. PARTICIPANTS 800 women without diabetes, all in their second pregnancy between January 2007 to January 2011, having previously delivered an infant weighing greater than 4 kg. INT...
