Background: Although people with diabetes have common problems, their educational needs may be different and they all have the right to participate in the planning and implementation of individual or group health care programs. Meanwhile, there are no proper care interventions for diabetic patients in Indonesia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a tailored care in...

Objective: Hepatic glucose release plays a potential role in hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. The aim of this experimental study was to determine the effect of 6 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on fasting levels of glucose and insulin as well as glucokinase (GCK) expression in liver tissue in obese T2D rats. Materials and Methods: T2D was induced by a high-fat ...

This review mainly focuses on the management of type 2 diabetes in the preoperative setting with a special emphasis on intraoperative glycemic control. Some patients learn their diagnosis of diabetes just prior to the surgery. The prevalence of previously undiagnosed diabetes is reported to be 5.2-10% in literature. Treatment protocols must be tailored individually but evidence based approach i...

Evidence indicates that hospitalized patients with hyperglycemia do not benefit from tight blood glucose control. Maintaining a blood glucose level of less than 180 mg per dL (9.99 mmol per L) will minimize symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia without adversely affecting patient-oriented health outcomes. In the absence of modifying factors, physicians should continue patients' at-home dia...

Glycemic control among critically-ill patients has been a topic of considerable attention for the past 15 years. An initial focus on the potentially deleterious effects of hyperglycemia led to a series of investigations regarding intensive insulin therapy strategies that targeted tight glycemic control. As knowledge accumulated, the pursuit of tight glycemic control among critically-ill patient...

An insulin delivery system that self-regulates blood glucose levels has the potential to limit hypoglycemic events and improve glycemic control. Glucose-responsive systems have been developed by coupling oxidase with a stimuli-responsive biomaterial. However, challenge of achieving desirable release kinetics (i.e., within minutes after elevation duration on order weeks) still remains. Here, we ...
