Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic disorder during pregnancy. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of GDM positive screening tests with Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) and Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) in pregnant women without risk factors in Esfarayn, Iran. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 997 pregnant women, who were refe...

Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 with dyslipidemia is a common disease. Previous studies suggest that chemical constituent present in pinus eldarica (P. eldarica) nut posesess antioxidant properties and positively affect glucose metabolism. However blood glucose and cholesterol lowering effects of P. eldarica nut have not been studied so far. Objective: The present study was undertaken to...

background: due to the wholesome benefits of nuts increased consumption of them has been recommended. however, because of nut’s high energy density, the role of them in the treatment of overweight and obesity is vague. this current clinical trial study aims to investigate the effects of a balanced hypocaloric almond-enriched diet (aed) (almond group) in comparison to a balanced hypocaloric nu...

the human blood basal glucose level is a completely controlled range. information on the relationship between culture glucose concentration and changes in the cell's surface area, volume and surface area to volume (s/v) ratio are lacking. cancerous epithelial-like cell lines sw480, sw742 and t-47d were cultured in mediums nourished with 4.7 mm per liter of glucose as the control group and three...

this article reviews the development of non-invasive optical techniques for determination of blood glucose concentrations in diabetic patients. early diagnosis and daily management are essential for ensuring the healthy life of diabetic patients. the determination of blood glucose concentration with common devices involves the chemical analysis of blood samples, which are obtained by pricking t...
