BACKGROUND Diabetic foot ulcers have a negative impact on quality of life and diabetes self-management of the condition is a key component of diabetes treatment. However no study has yet been conducted to determine the relationship between diabetes self-management, fasting blood sugar and quality of life among type 2 diabetic patients with foot ulcers in Thailand. OBJECTIVE To examine the rel...

BACKGROUND Self-care practices that include self-monitoring of blood sugar level, diet management, physical exercise, adherence to medications, and foot care are the cornerstones of diabetes management. However, very little is known about self-care in developing countries where the prevalence of diabetes is increasing. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to describe self-care practices ...

A patient presented with extensive marginal ditching around restorations recently placed during whole-mouth rehabilitation. The patient was not xerostomic and was otherwise normal except for the self-reported excessive use of "sugar-free" cough drops sweetened with sorbitol and Isomalt® (an equimolar mix of glucosyl-mannitol and glucosylsorbitol). This prompted an in vitro investigation to dete...

we call a module  essentially retractable if homr for all essential submodules n of m. for a right fbn ring r, it is shown that: (i)  a non-zero module  is retractable (in the sense that homr for all non-zero ) if and only if certain factor modules of m are essentially retractable nonsingular modules over r modulo their annihilators. (ii)  a non-zero module  is essentially retractable if and on...

The hypothesis that depot fat is more unsaturated when it is synthesized at lower temperatures was tested in the mosquito. Female mosquitoes (Aedes sollicitans) were starved until no triglycerides remained. A single dose of sugar was fed and the mosquitoes were maintained at different temperatures. Approximately the same amount of triglyceride was synthesized per mosquito at each temperature, a...

Methods Patients with inadequately controlled T2D from Group Health Cooperative were invited to participate in a telephone survey. The survey queried interest in ANC, current CAM use, and current self-care. Self-care behavior, perceptions about blood sugar, and motivation for behavior change were assessed using the Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities, Perceptions of Blood Sugar Control and...
