BACKGROUND The epidemic of overweight/obesity affects youth with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and their families. In youth with T1DM and their parents, we examined weight status with reported and expected energy intake and with youth hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). METHODS In 243 youth (48% female, 13 ± 3 years) and their parents (84% female, 45 ± 6 years), we assessed body mass index (BMI), preva...

OBJECTIVE Recent studies have reported hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) differences across ethnic groups that could limit its use in clinical practice. The authors of the A1C-Derived Average Glucose study have advocated to report HbA1c in estimated average glucose (AG) equivalents. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between HbA1c and the mean of three 7-point self-monitored blood gluco...

BACKGROUND Injection compliance is a major problem in patients with type 1 diabetes. Increased compliance with mealtime insulin injections significantly improves metabolic control. Using an insulin pen with memory function might facilitate corrective dosing to avoid postprandial blood glucose peaks and therefore might improve overall glycemic control. METHODS This randomized, open-label, 24-w...

Diabetes is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), and increases the of thromboembolic events in persons with AF. However, link between two conditions not fully elucidated. Few studies have investigated association dysglycemia incident We AF prognosis according to diabetes status. The Copenhagen Primary Care Laboratory Database was merged data on medical prescriptions, in- outpatient conta...

INTRODUCTION Patients with diabetes play an important role in management of their illness. They should be involved in the intervention program to be able to improve their quality of life. This study investigated the effect of a self-management program based on 5A (assess, advise, agree, assist, arrange) model on metabolic control indicators of diabetic patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD In this ra...

BACKGROUNDS We compared the usefulness of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), or both in predicting type 2 diabetes. METHODS This retrospective cohort study investigated 9,322 Japanese adults (4,786 men and 4,536 women), aged 19-69 yrs, free of diabetes at baseline. Usefulness was assessed by predictive values (PV), sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receive...

Males with diabetes mellitus have been reported to low serum testosterone levels relative the general population. This study aimed explore impact of glycemic control, duration (in years), comorbidities, and complications on in different age groups. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from files lab results 350 diabetic male patients at King Salman Armed Forces Hospital Saudi Ara...

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness once-daily versus twice-daily insulin detemir injection in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: In randomized 4-month clinical trial, 60 aged 33 - 156 months T1DM were randomly assigned into two groups, (group 1) and 2) pre-meal Aspart. first month devoted educating patients dose titration. Hemoglobin A1C ...

Abstract Corticosteroids are used in the management of patients with high-grade gliomas (HGG). lead to elevated serum glucose levels, necessitating sliding-scale insulin. A hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reflects historical levels but it’s unclear if it predicts corticosteroid-induced hyperglycemia. We retrospectively reviewed all newly diagnosed HGG who were admitted between Jan 2019 July 2021 had an ...
