Protein biosensors play an increasingly important role as reporters for research and clinical applications. Here we present approach the construction of fully integrated but modular electrochemical based on principal component glucose monitors PQQ-glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH). We designed allosterically regulated circular permutated variants PQQ-GDH that show large (>10-fold) changes in enzy...

BACKGROUND Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) accuracy is of critical importance both in delivering therapeutic value and as a component of a closed-loop system. This study aims at assessing the differences between accuracy assessments of CGMS at home and at the clinical research center (CRC). METHODS Twelve patients with type 1 diabetes used the Dexcom® SEVEN® PLUS (DexCom, Inc.) CG...

WARNING: UNRECOGNIZED HYPOGLYCEMIA RESULTING FROM DRUG-DEVICE INTERACTION See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning • Use of non-specific glucose monitors has resulted in falsely elevated glucose readings due to maltose interference leading to inappropriate insulin administration or withholding of hypoglycemia treatment. Permanent neurological damage and death have been report...

introduction: it seems that improvement in care and new treatment and screening methods along with better control of diabetes mellitus (dm) has led to a change in incidence of diabetic complications, especially diabetic retinopathy .this study was performed to assess the 4 years incidence rate of diabetic retinopathy in patients with type ii diabetes and factors affecting its progression. metho...

background : magnesium is the second most abundant intracellular cation. it plays an important role in insulin homeostasis and glucose metabolism through multiple enzymatic reactions. with increasing data on magnesium deficiency in diabetic patients and epidemiological studies demonstrating magnesium deficiency as a risk factor for diabetes, it is logical to search for its possible beneficial e...
