mobile phones are two-way radios that emit electromagnetic radiation in microwave range. as the number of mobile phone users has reached 6 billion, the bioeffects of exposure to mobile phone radiation and mobile phone electromagnetic interference with electronic equipment have received more attention, globally. as self-monitoring of blood glucose can be a beneficial part of diabetes control, ho...

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new glucose-lowering therapy for T2DM with documented benefits on blood glucose, hypertension, weight reduction and long term cardiovascular benefit. They have an inherent osmotic diuretic effect and lead to some volume loss and possible dehydration. There is some concern about the safety of using SGLT2 inhibitors in Muslim type 2 diabete...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous studies demonstrated that energy metabolism disturbance impairs cardiac function and chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) protects heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury. The present study aimed to test the hypothesis that CIHH protects the heart against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury via improvement of cardiac glucose metabolism. METHODS Male Sprag...

background: internal barriers are an important group of barriers to blood glucose level control. finding the viewpoints of patients, their families and medical team on these barriers is an important step towards correct planning and effective control of blood glucose. this study aimed to find and compare viewpoints of patients, their families and medical team about internal barriers to control ...

Background and Objectives: Diabetes is fast gaining the status of a potential epidemic in India with more than 62 million diabetic individuals currently diagnosed with the condition. Biochemical analysis of saliva would be of great biomedical importance, since saliva is very easy to collect offering a cost-effective approach for screening of large populations, and could represent an alternative...

Six subjects were infused with [U-13C]glucose (0.03-0.05 mg ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ min-1) starting 8-9 h after a meal, and the production of glucose, the recycling of glucose (the Cori cycle), the dilution of glucose by unlabeled carbon into the hepatic lactate-pyruvate pool, and gluconeogenesis were determined in these fasted volunteers by use of mass isotopomer analysis and equations previously described [...

Background: People who use home blood glucose monitors may use their mobile phones in the close vicinity of medical devices. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of the signal strength of 900 MHz GSM mobile phones on the accuracy of home blood glucose monitors.Methods: Sixty non-diabetic volunteer individuals aged 21 - 28 years participated in this study. Blood samples were analyzed ...

Interval-type exercise is effective for improving glycemic control, but the optimal approach is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of the interval length on changes in postprandial glycemic control following a single exercise bout. Twelve subjects with type 2 diabetes completed a cross-over study with three 1-hour interventions performed in a non-randomized but c...
