BACKGROUND Achieving good glycemic control in intensive care units (ICU) requires a safe and efficient insulin infusion protocol (IIP). We aimed to compare the clinical performance of two IIPs (Leuven versus modified Yale protocol) in patients admitted to medical ICU, by using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). This is a pooled data analysis of two published prospective randomized controlled ...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Tight glycemic control is important for the prevention of microvascular complications in diabetic patients. We examined the reliability of using blood glucose levels measured at various time-points relative to a meal as an index of glycemic control in Japanese diabetic outpatients. Basic procedures followed: We examined the correlation between the fasting blood glucose (FBG...

In this paper, the link between high glycemic index and load will be reviewed. The data from the literature discussed relate to a short presentation of the physiopathology of acne, including the influence of hyperinsulinemia as a key factor at the beginning of acne.

Previous studies have provided limited evidence for a harmful effect of high glycemic index and dietary glycemic load on cancer. The authors analyzed associations among glycemic index, glycemic load, and risk of cancer in women and men in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study. Published glycemic index values were assigned to 225 foods/food groups. Glycemic load was calcul...

The periodontal disease etiology has been a demesne of scrupulous research, with myriad bacterial phylotypes inhabiting the pockets. aim our study was to assess frequency Filifactor alocis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) subjects having healthy periodontium (DH) or chronic periodontitis (DCP) and its correlation clinical parameters red complex bacteria. Polymerase chain reaction carried out fo...

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease caused by high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia). Hyperglycemia due to lack of insulin secretion in the body. Glycemic control diabetic patients seen HbA1C levels. One complications DM nephropathy. Renal function abnormalities associated with nephropathy are indicated increased creatinine and microalbumin. This shows that it necessary monitor kid...

Introduction: Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine diseases. With regard to the importance of blood glucose regulation in prevention of diabetic complications, glycemic and insulinemic response determination of foods containing carbohydrates is greatly important. The purpose of the present study, therefore, was to determine the effect of low glycemic index foods taken at dinner on fasti...
