Thyroid hormones and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1) in Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus (JDM)

Meta-analysis: glycosylated hemoglobin and cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus.

BACKGROUND In persons with diabetes, chronic hyperglycemia (assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin level) is related to the development of microvascular disease; however, the relation of glycosylated hemoglobin to macrovascular disease is less clear. PURPOSE To conduct a meta-analysis of observational studies of the association between glycosylated hemoglobin and cardiovascular disease in diabet...

Association between the level of glycosylated hemoglobin and serum lipid profile in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by defect in insulin secretion and action resulting in hyperglycemia. Diabetic patients have deranged body metabolisms particularly for lipids which may result in abnormal levels of serum levels of lipids. Methods: The aim of this study is to find any possible correlation between the the glycosylated hemoglobin and the...

Relationship Between Glycosylated Hemoglobin and Risk of Microalbuminuria in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Nephropathy is a common complication of Diabetes Mellitus that could lead to End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD). Microalbuminuria is important as an ‘early marker’ of renal disease as it represents a time when renal biopsy shows no or minimal changes. Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) represents the average glucose concentration over the period of 2-3 months and is accepted as a useful index of mean...

Glycosylated Hemoglobin Concentrations in Dogs with Hyperadrenocorticism and/or Diabetes Mellitus Compared to Clinically Healthy Dogs

Serial glycosylated hemoglobin levels and risk of colorectal neoplasia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia may increase the risk of colorectal neoplasia by serving as an energy source for neoplastic growth. We sought to determine whether glycemic control measured by serial hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was associated with the risk of colorectal adenoma. METHODS Among a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who received health care within the Kaiser Permanente Northern ...
