BACKGROUND Whether HbA1c is a predictor of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in type 2 diabetes patients remains unclear. This study evaluated relationship between HbA1c and ESRD in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Patients aged ≥ 30 years who were free of ESRD (n = 51 681) were included from National Diabetes Care Management Program from 2002-2003. Extended Cox proportional hazard...

OBJECTIVE HbA1c is strongly related to the development of diabetes complications, but it is still controversial which HbA1c level to strive for in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The aim of the current study was to evaluate HbA1c, followed from diagnosis, as a predictor of severe microvascular complications and to formulate HbA1c target levels for treatment. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A lo...

BACKGROUND This study compared the glycemic effectiveness of three metformin-based dual therapies according to baseline hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) to evaluate the appropriateness of the guideline enforced by the National Health Insurance Corporation of Korea for initial medication of type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS This prospective observational study was conducted across 24 weeks for drug-naïve K...

النفط في العراق مكتشف من فترات سحيقة قد سبقت التاريخ ربما فقد كان اهل بابل يستخدمون بعض انواع الاسود واستخدموا القير ابنيتهم وشوارعهم ايضا كانت الابار ترمي بالنفط خارجا وهذا ما معروف عن اغلب العراقية قربها سطح التربة لكن اكتشاف واستخراجه على متعارف عليه الان لم يكن الا بدايات القرن العشرين الميلادي واول شركه استغلت حقوق العراقي شركات تركيه عام 1912.

conclusions apc referral for elevated hba1c reduces complication rate and the incidence of prolonged hospitalization during the first year after surgery in diabetics undergoing tja. results patients (197 men, 6 women) underwent 71, 131, and 1 total hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, respectively. patients undergoing tja with uncontrolled hba1c and those with hba1c < 10%, but not those with h...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION Measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been recommended for the diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes. However, epidemiological studies have shown significant discordance between HbA1c and glucose-based tests. Of the factors that could influence agreement between HbA1c and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), bodyweight has not been fully evaluated. The aims of the ...

We report a potentiometric method for measuring the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin) concentration, hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, and percent HbA1c (%HbA1c) in human blood hemolysate. The %HbA1c is important for diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus. Alizarin red s (ARS) is used as a redox indicator. Phenylboronic acid (PBA) binds to both ARS and HbA1c via diol-boronic acid ...

Aims: To ascertain which is a better screening test to diagnose diabetes mellitus, OGTT or HbA1c. Method : 100 high risk patients for diabetes and 35 controls (none a known diabetic) were screened by OGTT and HbA1c. 1980 WHO criteria for diagnosing diabetes and HbA1c 3 7% (cation exchange chromatography) were followed to categorise patients as diabetics. Results : 17% of the patients were hound...

BACKGROUND Recently, a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level of 6.5% has been determined to be a criterion for diabetes mellitus (DM), and it is a widely used marker for the diagnosis of DM. However, HbA1c may be influenced by a number of factors. Anemia is one of the most prevalent diseases with an influence on HbA1c; however, its effect on HbA1c varies based on the variable pathophysiology of anemia. ...

Polyphenols have been extensively studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, their antiglycative actions by oxidative stress modulation have been linked to the prevention of diabetes and associated complications. This article assesses the evidence for polyphenol interventions on glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) in non-diabetic, pre-diabetic, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T...
