Diabetes mellitus (DM) includes a group of metabolic disorders that share common phenotype of hyperglycemia. Assessing glycemia in diabetes has always been a challenge. Aim of this study is to evaluate glycemic control in patients with type 2 DM patients with and without microvascular complications. HbA1c, FBS and PP2BS were estimated as measure of glycemic control. A cross sectional study cons...

objective: to evaluate the relation between major depressions and glucose control index in type 2 diabetes mellitus. materials and methods: one- hundred thirty four patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in this study. hamilton rating scale for depression (ham-d) and hba1c were measured in patients. linear mixed-model analysis was applied to determine the relation between hba1c levels and ...

Purpose: To determine the status of glycemic control and its associated factors among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Hodeidah City, Yemen.
 Methods: This cross-sectional study involved T2DM attending an outpatient clinic at Military Hospital Hodeidah, from January to March 2017. Relevant socio-demographic characteristics, clinical self-management behaviours were rec...

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: diabetes mellitus is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world. chronic high blood glucose is the root cause of developing future micro and macro vascular complications. in current study, we analyzed poorly controlled patients’ information by clustering method in order to find more homogenous sub-groups of patients for planning for further interv...

BACKGROUND To assess the associations of depression with glycemic control and compliance to self-care activities in adult patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary-care hospital in Karachi (Aga Khan University Hospital). Equal numbers of depressed and non-depressed patients were consecutively recruited from the diabetic clinic. Infor...

Background: Approximately, one-third of patients with Type 2 diabetes have hypomagnesemia mainly caused by enhanced renal excretion. Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is associated with the poor glycemic control, and Mg supplementation improves insulin sensitivity. Various studies have shown associations between hypomagnesemia and various complications of Type 2 diabetes, including neuropathy, retinopa...

To investigate the hypothesis that diabetes induces nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, we studied the urine-concentrating ability in response to vasopressin (AVP) in 12 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 12 nondiabetic controls. Subjects were euglycemic-clamped, and after oral water loading, AVP was infused intravenously for 150 min. AVP induced a greater (P<0.001) rise i...
