This 3-year prospective study enrolled 95 subjects from15 Chinese cities including 25 high-titer (GADA ‡180 units/mL) LADA patients, 42 low-titer (GADA <180 units/mL) LADA patients, and 28 type 2 diabetic patients, the latter two groups as controls of similar age, sex, andBMI. Clinical characteristicswere determined annually, including glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting C-peptide (FCP), a...

Introduction: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is commonly used for monitoring glycemic control and as predictor of diabetes complications. Recently, HbA1c has also been recommended as a diagnostic test for diabetes mellitus by the American Diabetes Association. Materials and Methods: About 63 non-diabetic, anemic patients, and 63 age-matched healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Results...

RESEARCHDESIGNANDMETHODSdA random sample of the general population of Copenhagen, Denmark, was taken as part of the Inter99 study. Included were 6,405 men and women aged 30–65 years at baseline (1999–2001), with 4,296 participating in the follow-up examination 5 years later (2004–2006). Vitamin D was determined at baseline as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. Diabetes was defined based on an...

RESEARCHDESIGNANDMETHODSdOne-hundred three participants were randomized to receive either PRT or sham exercise 3 days per week for 12months. Homeostatic model of assessment 2 (HOMA2-IR) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were used as indices of IR and glucose homeostasis. Skeletal muscle mass (SkMM) and total fat mass were assessed using bioelectrical impedance. Visceral adipose tissue, mid-th...

levels of both fasting blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 18.8 million people had diabetes mellitus and 79 million people had prediabetes in the United States in 2010.1,2 Diabetes mellitus is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, as well as the leading cause of nontraumatic amputations, car...

Background: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been used as an index for clinical diagnosis of diabetes which is closely related to the complications cardiovascular. The purpose study was assess differences in HbA1c against conventional cardiovascular risk obese patients. Method: This cross-sectional conducted on patients (BMI &gt; 25). included 40 patients, whereas those with a history CVD, t...

Physical activity is commonly used as a treatment for diabetes patients, although its effectiveness in improving cognitive functions such learning, thinking, remembering, and decision making not clear. Regular exercise can gradually improve metabolic abnormalities associated with pre-diabetes assist patients type-2 (T2D) managing their pharmacological treatment. The usage of mobile health (mHea...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for the development of diseases such as type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Bariatric surgery with laparoscopic single anastomosis gastric bypass is an effective treatment for morbid obesity and diabetes type 2 complete remission, and it has been proven to generate an improvement in glycemic levels and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) keeping the weight loss for a long ...

Objective: To study the blood pressure, lipid and glycemic effects and safety of Vaccinium arctostaphylos leaf in the hypertensive hyperlipidemic type 2 diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: The patients took 350 mg standardized plant leaf hydro-alcoholic extract capsule (n=50) or placebo capsule (n=50) three times daily alongside conventional drugs for 2 months. At the baseline and endpoin...

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a common medical disorder detected during pregnancy with adverse consequences on the health of mother and fetus. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) an important parameter glycemic control in patients diabetes mellitus. However, it only reflects long-term status, but can’t reflect short term control. It has also been demonstrated that HbA1c does no...
