background diabetes is a metabolic syndrome and the most common endocrine disorder in childhood and adolescence. diabetes occurs at any age but the highest outbreak is during ten to 15 years of age and 75% of the cases are diagnosed at the age 18. objectives this study aimed to investigate the effect of a group discussion on the quality of life (qol) and glycosylated hemoglobin a (hba1c) levels...

background: there is growing evidence that diabetes mellitus (dm) is an important risk factor for tuberculosis (tb). a significant number of dm patients have poor glycemic control. this study was carried out to find the impact of poor glycemic control on newly diagnosed smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus in a tertiary care hospital. methods: in a hospit...

abstract sleep disturbances have been shown to be associated with diabetes control, but the relation between planned wakings or napping with glycemic indices has not been evaluated yet. this study evaluated the relation between sleep quality, duration, and pattern, including daytime napping of people with diabetes and their glycemic control. a cross-sectional correlation research design was use...

The range of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) responses and characteristics associated with above-average response to exenatide twice daily and once weekly were examined. Data were pooled from 8 exenatide-twice-daily and 5 exenatide-once-weekly studies. A baseline HbA1c-corrected measure of change in HbA1c after 24 weeks identified high, average and low responses. Multiple linear regression and mul...

We report the results of a national quality-control survey on glycohemoglobin (GHb), monitored in France by the Société Française de Biologie Clinique on behalf of the authority of the "Agence du Médicament." A sample of lyophilized hemolysate was sent to 3109 laboratories. Results were obtained from 2770 laboratories. HbA1C, HbA1, and total GHb were measured by 50%, 24%, and 26% of the partici...

background: the aim of this study was to determine if glycosylated hemoglobin is elevated in patients with chronic periodontitis who have not been diagnosed with diabetes and also to compare the hba1c levels that were obtained with lab and chairside test kit. materials and methods: a case control study was designed. glycosylated hemoglobin (hba1c) was assessed using a chairside kit and laborato...

BACKGROUND People with type 1 diabetes may find diabetic control more difficult when working shifts. AIMS To investigate the proportion of people with type 1 diabetes in employment undertaking shift work and diabetic control as assessed by glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) among individuals undertaking shift work compared to those not doing so. METHODS A postal questionnaire sent to all thos...

Total glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1) levels were measured in 94 diabetic children aged between 3 and 19 years. The results were compared with traditional methods of assessing blood glucose control. HbA1 levels correlated with home urine glucose testing (P less than 0.05), with 24-hour urine glucose excretion (P less than 0.01), and with height velocity (P less than 0.001). Within the first two...
