Abstract Background Diabetes patients are at risk of developing mental health comorbidities such as depression and poor quality sleep. These conditions can affect diabetic management, including glycemic plasma lipid control to optimal levels. We investigated the association between presence sleep in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) Sunyani Government hospital Ghana. Using a case–control design, we recrui...

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of the sensory neuropathy in type 2 diabetic patients referring to Yazd Diabetes Research Center. Neuropathy is one of the most common complications of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes melli-tus. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study on 2350 diabetic patients (1071 male, 1279 female) referred to Y...

to achieve tight glycemic control in diabetic patients, it may be necessary to introduce insulin therapy much earlier in the disease course. poor glycemic control is a risk factor for the development of diabetic complications. many patients require insulin therapy after several years of disease in order to maintain good glycemic control and prevent complications. but many patients do not receiv...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION To assess glycated albumin (GA) as a potential glycemic index in managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eligible pregnant women were divided into the GDM group with abnormal result on a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the control (normal) group. GA measurements, Pearson's correlation analysis, multiple logistic regression and receiver...

ABSTRACT:
 Background: There is substantiatial corroboration that diabetes (both T1DM and T2DM) plays an essential role in predisposition to cognitive decline thus leading dementia both human animal studies. (1,2,3). Hypoglycemia has been associated with the increased risk of developing impairment. (4). lack data from our community support this. We aim observe occurrence impairment individ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of glycemic control during regular hemodialysis on the survival of diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a longitudinal observational study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 114 diabetic CKD patients on hemodialysis at Inoue Hospital (Suita, Japan) were surveyed from May 1995 to December 2002 (survey period 45.5 +/- 29.3 [means +/- SD...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There is good evidence showing that intensive glycemic control reduces the development and progression of complications. In order to achieve glycemic targets, patients often require a combination of oral therapy and/or insulin in addition to lifestyle modification. Unfortunately, many of the t...

BACKGROUND Diabetes is undoubtedly one of the most challenging health problems in 21st century. Understanding the pathogenesis and preventing long term complications have been major goals of research in diabetes mellitus (DM). Research in the past few years has linked oxidative stress and inflammation to beta cell dysfunction. Aim of this study is to evaluate serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (G...

The maternal, fetal and neonatal complications of having diabetes during pregnancy, whether pre-gestational (PGDM) or gestational (GDM), have been well-established in the literature, prompting recommendations that women achieve and maintain strict glycemic control before and during pregnancy [1]. DMassociated maternal complications include progression of retinopathy, nephropathy, hypertension, ...
