Introduction: Glycated hemoglobin level is a good estimate of the average blood glucose over a period. Therefore, the measurement accuracy is very important. The most commonly available methods for measuring HbA1C are chemistry, immunoassay, enzymatic, electrophoresis, baronet affinity and HPLC. There is still no standard way that all the laboratories do it. The aim of this study was to compare...

BACKGROUND Long-term efficacy of liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analog, on body weight and glycemic control has not been studied in Indian Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects. AIM To evaluate the effect of liraglutide on glycemic control and body weight for 1 year in Indian T2DM patients. METHODS Liraglutide was prescribed to 96 obese patients with T2DM and followed up for 1 ye...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the control of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and its influencing factors, in elderly type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients undergoing comprehensive management. After years of comprehensive prevention of and control measures for diabetes, elderly T2DM patients who were receiving long-term health care were comprehensively evaluated ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether different psychosocial factors predicted levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) over time, after adjusting for covariates and baseline level of HbA1c. DESIGN These questions were investigated with a longitudinal sample (N = 97, age = 61-91) of older women without diabetes. HbA1c levels and psychosocial measures were obtained at baseline and 2-year ...

objective: there are some studies about the good effects of herbal medicine on blood glucose. this study was designed to evaluate the synergism effect of peganum harmala (p.harmala), quercus infectoria (q.i), vaccinium myrtillus (v.myrtillus), citrullos colocynthis (c.colocynthis), securigera securidaca (s.s) on blood glucosein type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: twenty four type 2...

OBJECTIVE Platelets have an important role in atherosclerosis and arterial thrombosis. Cardiovascular complication prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) may be associated with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and mean platelet volume (MPV). The aim of the study was to investigate if platelets were activated in diabetes and its associated vascular complications by measuring the MPV i...

Associations between local-area residential features and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) may be mediated by individual-level health behaviors. Such indirect effects have rarely been tested. This study assessed whether individual-level self-reported physical activity mediated the influence of local-area descriptive norms and objectively expressed walkability on 10-year change in HbA1c. HbA1c was...
