background & aim: diabetes mellitus in long-term through various means such as augmented oxidative stress is associated with disturbances such as pain and cognition in humans and laboratory animals. according to the evidence of anti-diabetic extract of biarum bovei (bb), effect of oral administration of this extract was evaluated on blood glucose level and pain threshold in diabetic rats. e...

background: hypoglycemia is one of the most common neonatal disorders, associated with severe complications. there has been a great deal of controversy regarding the definition and screening of hypoglycemia. therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine a cut-off value for blood glucose level in glucometer readings. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on 238 newborns at risk of ...

Materials and Methods: A total of 90 subjects of both sex groups, aged between 45–60 years were enrolled for this study. Of 90 subjects, 60 were patients with type 2 diabetes and 30 were healthy without diabetes. Glycemic status was categorized as good glycemic control if glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <7% and poor glycemic control if HbA1c ≥7%. Serum fasting blood sugar (FBS) was measured by Gluc...
