In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of diabetes in Shanghai, China. A sample of 3600 residents aged from 18 to 80 years selected by a randomized stratified multiple-stage sampling method in Shanghai was investigated, with blood samples collected. Diabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥ 7.0 mmol/L, or glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c...

Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have higher rates of foetal macrosomia, shoulder dystocia and pregnancy-induced hypertension, and are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Herein, we introduce a new conceptual term, "gestational prediabetes", which requires the absence of diabetes before pregnancy, and the presence of blood glucose levels (or a related marker) in early pr...

No study has explored whether intervention could revert prediabetes to normal glycemic status as the primary outcome. Beijing Prediabetes Reversion Program (BPRP) would evaluate whether intensive lifestyle modification and/or pioglitazone could revert prediabetic state to normoglycemia and impr...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major global health problem. An estimated 20%-50% of diabetic subjects in Canada are currently undiagnosed, and around 20%-30% have already developed complications. Screening for high blood glucose levels can identify people with prediabetic conditions and permit introduction of timely and effective prevention. This study examines the benefit of s...

levels of both fasting blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 18.8 million people had diabetes mellitus and 79 million people had prediabetes in the United States in 2010.1,2 Diabetes mellitus is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, as well as the leading cause of nontraumatic amputations, car...
