background many sufferers of type i diabetes, as they are young, need support in order to be able to continue their care; therefore, to have social support could have a role in improving the metabolic control. accordingly, the present study was done in order to determine the perceived social support and its relationship to the glycosylated hemoglobin in the children and adolescents who suffer f...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the endothelial functions before and after glycemic control in type II diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHODS It was an open, randomized and comparative study on 30 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study was of 12 weeks spread over 5 visits. The initial visit (visit 1) is for screening of patients. Other visits (visits 2 to 5) constituted the follow up of patie...

Sleep disturbances have been shown to be associated with diabetes control, but the relation between planned wakings or napping with glycemic indices has not been evaluated yet. This study evaluated the relation between sleep quality, duration, and pattern, including daytime napping of people with diabetes and their glycemic control. A cross-sectional correlation research design was used for thi...

While a role for sleep in declarative memory processing is established, the qualitative nature of this consolidation benefit, and the physiological mechanisms mediating it, remain debated. Here, we investigate the impact of sleep physiology on characteristics of episodic memory using an item- (memory elements) and context- (contextual details associated with those elements) learning paradigm; t...

BACKGROUND There is convincing evidence that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly associated with impaired glucose metabolism. OBJECTIVES Analyze the prevalence of OSA in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Evaluate the influence of OSA on glycemic control. METHODS The adult patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) followed in the department of internal medicine were referred ...

OBJECTIVE Evidence suggests that short and long sleep durations are associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Using successive data waves spanning >20 years, we examined whether a change in sleep duration is associated with incident diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Sleep duration was reported at the beginning and end of four 5-year cycles: 1985-1988 to 1991-1994 (n = 5,613), 1991...

Abstract Background Diabetes patients are at risk of developing mental health comorbidities such as depression and poor quality sleep. These conditions can affect diabetic management, including glycemic plasma lipid control to optimal levels. We investigated the association between presence sleep in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) Sunyani Government hospital Ghana. Using a case–control design, we recrui...

Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is a common disorder worldwide and is indicated by low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Recent studies have suggested an association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency with diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and type 2 diabetes in South Indian patients. Materials and Methods...

795 Glucose and Fat Metabolism in Narcolepsy—Donjacour et al INTRODUCTION Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep paralysis, disturbed nocturnal sleep and obesity.1 Both obesity and disturbed nocturnal sleep are important risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).2 Narcolepsy is c...

Sleep curtailment has become a common behavior in modern society. This review summarizes the current laboratory evidence indicating that sleep loss may contribute to the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and obesity. Experimentally induced sleep loss in healthy volunteers decreases insulin sensitivity without adequate compensation in beta-cell function, resulting in impaired glucose toleranc...
