Aims: Glucose control is essential to slow disease progression in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The acute effects of dry bean consumption on glucose are well established, but their long-term daily diets less known. Methods: effect ½ cup pinto beans, compared green fasting glucose, postprandial and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) adults T2DM was examined. After a 2-week wash-in period, 13 ...

Background: The relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and prognostic factors in breast cancer (BC) premenopausal (pre-M) postmenopausal (post-M) women is still controversial. We evaluated the potential association hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG), levels (FILs), homeostasis model assessment index (HOMA), of BC nondiabetic patients with pre-M post-M tumors. Methods: com...

Diabetes affects more than 25% of Americans older than age 65 years. The medical care of older patients must differ from the care of their younger counterparts. Older patients are at high risk of drug toxicity. A hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level less than 7.0% has historically been the goal of all patients with diabetes, regardless of age. Recent research has demonstrated that using medications to ...

BACKGROUND Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is highly correlated with mean blood glucose (MBG) levels and widely used in assessment of diabetes therapy. It has been proposed to report HbA1c in terms of an estimated average glucose (eAG) derived from the population regression of MBG on HbA1c. Pertinent to the clinical utility of eAG would be the degree of agreement between eAG and MBG estimated from multi...

INTRODUCTION One of the potential sources for the occurrence of various systemic pathologies, such as cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases is periodontitis. Testing of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA) is a highly standardized procedure and is becoming increasingly popular these days due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of use. Literature quotes numerous stu...

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an important parameter for evaluating long-term (6-8 weeks) control of blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. We report a Japanese diabetic case who harbored abnormal Hb and demonstrated falsely low HbA1c levels in the regular ion exchange HPLC-based assay. His abnormal β-globin chain had an amino acid replacement that corresponded to glycine to serin...

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an essential tool for modern diabetes therapy. Randomized controlled studies have provided evidence that hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) results can be improved in patients with type 1 diabetes with elevated baseline HbA1c when using CGM frequently enough and that the frequency and duration of hypoglycemic events can be reduced in patients with satisfactory baselin...

Background/aim: The changes of glycosylated hemoglobin Hb A1c and VO2max values have been considered as an important marker of glucose control over time. Exercise training intervention is underused in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in East Africa. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of aerobic exercise program on HbA1c and VO2 max values in type 2 diabetic patient...

Bilirubin, a product of the heme catabolic pathway was considered as a toxic compound for many years.But the recent studies show that mildly elevated bilirubin levels are beneficial and negatively associated with the oxidative stress Serum bilirubin has been consistently shown to be negatively correlated to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), metabolic syndrome, and obesity. ...
