Glycemic control and the risk of multiple microvascular diabetic complications.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Tight glycemic control in type 2 diabetes reduces risk of certain end-organ complications. However, among patients with one complication already, it is unknown whether tight glycemic control reduces the risk of subsequent complications in another organ. We sought to determine if glycemic control is associated with the risk of a second, distinct, end-organ diabetic comp...
متن کاملPKC inhibition and diabetic microvascular complications.
In patients with diabetes, the hyperglycaemia is known to promote high levels of diacylglycerol which activates protein kinase C (PKC) in the vascular tissues and leads to production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the retina. PKC activation is likely to play a key role in diabetic microvascular complications, particularly changes in vascular permeability and ischaemia in the re...
متن کاملInflammation and diabetic retinal microvascular complications
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common complications of diabetes and is a leading cause of blindness in people of the working age in Western countries. A major pathology of DR is microvascular complications such as non-perfused vessels, microaneurysms, dot/blot hemorrhages, cotton-wool spots, venous beading, vascular loops, vascular leakage and neovascularization.

متن کاملMicrovascular Complications in Diabetic Erectile Dysfunction
Advances in the management of erectile dysfunction (ED) and its adverse effects on the quality of life of men and their partners have encouraged researchers to look for new solutions for treating and curing ED. The introduction of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors to treat ED in 1998 was revolutionary in that it heralded the onset of a new era of effective and safe treatment for restoring mal...
متن کاملContinuous subcutaneous insulin infusion is associated with a reduced rate of microvascular complications
Results Median age was 17 years [IQR 15-18] and median diabetes duration 9.0 [7.0-12.0] years. CSII was used by 29% and MDI 72%. CSII was associated with a lower rate of retinopathy than MDI (16% vs 22%; p=0.025) across the entire study period and in the latest time period with lower rate of AER elevation (≥ 7.5 μg/min) (26%vs 37%; p=0.012); microalbuminuria(1.3% vs 5.5%; p=0.016) and periphera...
