The association between diabetes and cognitive impairment is controversial. This systematic review examines the relationship of Cognitive Impairment in people with diabetes mellitus. The incidence of “Cognitive Impairment” was higher in individuals with diabetes than in those without diabetes in nine of ten studies reporting this aggregate outcome. These findings showed an associated between ty...

Etiologically, characterization of type of diabetes (Type I, II) based on serum Cpeptide content provides elaborate distinctive characteristics. The beta cell reserve as measured by C-peptide relates to the metabolic profile of diabetes. In pre-manifest Type I diabetes basal C-peptide may be normal and reduced only in the immediate post stimulating phase. In malnutrition related diabetes, C-pep...

Patients with diabetes are subdivided into at least two subgroups: those with insulindependent diabetes mellitus (Type I) and those with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (Type II). Both groups of patients have abnormalities in the sensitivity of their tissue to insulin, as well as abnormalities in beta (B)-cell function. In type I diabetes, a marked decrease in the number of B-cells is t...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases, with complications such as decreased salivary flow rate and xerostomia. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the salivary flow rate and xerostomia in type I and II diabetic patients in comparison with healthy controls. METHODS This case-control study was performed on diabetic patients of a private office in Bab...

background and aims: diabetes type ii (non-insulin dependent) which is one of the most prevalent diabetes types in the world emerges in people with the age of above 55 and genetic and environmental factors interfere in this disease. the aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting diabetes type ii with generalized mixed linear model. methods: population of this study included 2820 p...

Background: The most important underlying cause of death in diabetic patients is poor self-care. The effect of education on self-care promotion has been widely investigated; however, the advisory role and impact of the treatment team have been scarcely investigated.  Aim: Determining the effect of group counseling on the psychological aspect of self-care and level of glycosylated hemoglobin in ...

D iabetic retinopathy is a highly specific vascular complication of both insulin-dependent (type I) and non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of retinopathy is strongly related to the duration of diabetes. After 20 yr of diabetes, nearly all patients with type I diabetes and >60% of patients with type II diabetes have some degree of retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy ...
