OBJECTIVE To better explore the relationship between parameters of glycemic control of T2DM in RRT, we studied 23 patients on hemodialysis (HD), 22 on peritoneal dialysis (PD), and compared them with 24 T2DM patients with normal renal function (NRF). MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed, on four consecutive days, 10 assessments of capillary blood glucose [4 fasting, 2 pre- and 4 postprandial (p...

objective: during recent years, opium consumption has increased among iranian diabetic men. the belief that opium consumption can control or even eradicate dm is increasing. this study was conducted to compare the blood sugar, hba1c, lipid profile and the frequency of diabetes complications in male type ii diabetic patient with and without opium consumption. materials and methods: two hundred t...

Dear Editor An important problem to manage diabetes mellitus is controlling the patients` blood glucose. Fluctuation of blood glucose results in molecular biochemistry change and can result in unwanted diabetic complications (1). In clinical practice, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) is a common useful laboratory test to follow-up patients with diabetes (2). Sometimes, an unexpecte...

introduction: hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) reflects patient’s glycemic status over the previous 3 months. previous studies have reported that iron deficiency may elevate a1c concentrations, independent of glycemia. this study is aimed to analyze the effect of iron deficiency anemia on hba1c levels in diabetic population having plasma glucose levels in control. methods: totally, 120 diabetic, iron-def...

OBJECTIVES A study was made of the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment upon blood glucose control in type 2 diabetics with periodontal disease. STUDY DESIGN A pre-post repeated measures analytical design was used, with a PubMed search of the related articles published up until December 2008. RESULTS The improvement in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) after nonsurgical periodontal tre...

background: in this study, we evaluated the quality of care and control of cardiovascular risk factors in newly diagnosed diabetic patients, identified during diabetes screening program, 1 year after diagnosis. methods: in this prospective study, 83 newly diagnosed diabetic patients identified at screening in isfahan, were studied. height, weight, blood pressure, plasma glucose, lipids, and hem...

This study focuses on the relationship between oral hygiene and increase in blood glucose. The increased glucose level in blood is known as diabetic, and thereby the study is conducted on people with pre-existing diabetic condition. Glycated Hemoglobin(HbA1c) is used as a standard measure for this study for determining the intensity of diabetic condition on subjects. Different dental manifestat...

OBJECTIVES Glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurement is recommended as an alternative to fasting plasma glucose (FPG) for the diagnosis of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. However, evidence suggests discordance between HbA1c and FPG. In this study we examine a range of metabolic risk features, pro-inflammatory cytokines, acute-phase response proteins, coagulation factors and white blood cel...
