We investigated the frequency of sleep disturbances and the association between sleep disturbances and glucoregulation in type 2 diabetic patients. The frequency of sleep disturbances in 614 type 2 diabetic patients was investigated using validated sleep questionnaires. There were 381 male and 233 female patients. The mean age was 59.7 ± 11.1 yr; the mean body mass index was 24.9 ± 4.4 kg/m(2);...

BACKGROUND Glycaemic control is fundamental to the management of and risk reduction in microvascular complications of diabetes. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the association of sleep quality with glycaemic control and its impact on type 2 diabetic patients in an Asian population. METHODS A total of 46 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled. HbA1C was meas...

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...

PURPOSE Some studies have found an association between sleep disturbances and metabolic risk, but none has examined this association in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep disturbances and metabolic risk factors in obese patients with type 2 diabetes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was a cross-sectional examination of ...

THE IMPORTANCE OF SLOW-WAVE SLEEP (SWS) DURING NOCTURNAL SLEEP IS WIDELY CONFIRMED. THE FACT THAT THE RATES OF CEREBRAL NEURAL FIRING are lowest during SWS, the length of SWS is correlated with the length of prior wakefulness, and the cerebrum is isolated from sensory input and from subcortical structures suggests that SWS is associated with tissue restitution.1 Recently, the recuperative effec...

Objective. Succnic acid mono ethyl ester (EMS) was recently proposed as an insulinotropic agent for the treatment of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. In the present study the effect of EMS and Metformin on the activities of carbohydrate metabolic enzymes in streptozotocinnicotinamide induced type 2 diabeteic model was investigated. Methods. EMS were injected intraperitonially at doses 2...

The aim of this work was to determine the frequency of caries, periodontal disease and tooth loss in patients affected by diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2. It was a cross-sectional study involving 175 subjects distributed in the following groups: (1) 35 patients with diabetes type 1 (glycosylated hemoglobin values from 6.5%-7%), (2) 35 patients with diabetes type 1 (values of glycosylated hemogl...

BACKGROUND Brewer's yeast may have beneficial effects on insulin receptors because of itsglucose tolerance factor in diabetic patients. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of brewer's yeast supplementation on glycemic indices in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS In a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial, 84 adults (21 men and 63 women) aged 46.3 ± 6....
