OBJECTIVE To determine the association of dietary fiber and glycemic index with incident type 2 diabetes in African-Americans and whites. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 12,251 adults aged 45-64 years and free of diabetes at baseline (1987-1989). A total of 1,447 cases of diabetes were reported between baseline and 9 years of follow-up. Diabetes status was determined by fasting glucose...

RESULTS—Following median (interquartile range) 71 (63–86) days drug withdrawal, overall glycemic status remained modestly improved in those allocated ramipril during the trial with an 11% increase in regression to normoglycemia, compared with placebo. In those previously allocated rosiglitazone, glycemic status remained substantially improved with a 49% reduction of new-onset diabetes or death ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in LDL oxidizability by glycemic status within the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS LDL oxidizability (lag time and oxidation rate) after exposure to copper was compared among 352 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, and known type 2 diab...

BACKGROUND Certain types of carbohydrates increase glucose and insulin levels to a greater extent than others. In turn, insulin may raise levels of insulin-like growth factors, which may influence breast cancer risk. We analyzed the effect of type and amount of carbohydrates on breast cancer risk, using the glycemic index and the glycemic load measures in a large case-control study conducted in...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to determine the status of glycemic control and identify factors associated with good glycemic control among diabetic patients treated at primary health clinics. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic random sample of 557 patients was selected from seven clinics in the Hulu Langat District. Data were collected from patients' medication records, g...

Clinical testing to assess levels of disease control and progression among persons with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus is widely recommended to clinicians to improve patients’ clinical outcomes. Two important foci of recommendations for the followup care of individuals with diabetes include monitoring of glycemic status by measurement of glycated hemoglobin (GHb) and screening for kidney d...

effect of in order to test the memory state in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (niddm) after glycemic control, one-hundred patients referring to isfahan endocrine and metabolism research center were simply randomized. they were compared in point of memory state with one hundred cases as the control group. the wechsler memory scale test was utilized to evaluate the memory s...

BACKGROUND Dietary glycemic index, an indicator of the ability of the carbohydrate to raise blood glucose levels, and glycemic load, the product of glycemic index and carbohydrate intake, have been positively related to risk of coronary heart disease. However, the relationships between glycemic index and glycemic load and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration in the US popu...

Materials and Methods: A total of 90 subjects of both sex groups, aged between 45–60 years were enrolled for this study. Of 90 subjects, 60 were patients with type 2 diabetes and 30 were healthy without diabetes. Glycemic status was categorized as good glycemic control if glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <7% and poor glycemic control if HbA1c ≥7%. Serum fasting blood sugar (FBS) was measured by Gluc...

BACKGROUND Age-related differences in diabetes outcomes are important both for clinical and policy considerations. To clarify the basis of such differences, we investigated patterns of associations for age in relation to hospitalization and glycemic control and examined the role of other factors. METHODS 4471 patients with diabetes aged 40-79 years were drawn from a retrospectively retrieved ...
