diabetes mellitus (dm) type 2 is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting more than 135 million people in the world. the etiology of the disease is not fully understood, but recently subclinical hemochromatosis has been considered as one of the probable causes of dm. this study was carried out to examine the relationship between serum ferritin as a marker of iron overload with dm an...

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder associated with hyperandrogenism marked with hirsutism and ovarian dysfunction. These conditions may lead to the risk of insulin resistance (IR), type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. These conditions are related to PCOS complications hence our aim was to study and investigate the relationship between high-sens...

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and the severity and long-term prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) with stent implantation. A total of 2,825 consecutive patients with stent implantation were stratified into three groups based on the levels of HbA1c: Low HbA1c group (group A, HbA1c ≤5.9% or 41 mmol/mol; n=1,035), moder...

BACKGROUND Diabetic complications may be associated with impaired time-dependent glycemic control. Therefore, long-term glycemic variability, assessed by variations in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), may be a potential risk factor for microvascular complications, such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). We investigated the association of HbA1c variability with DPN in patients with type 2 diabetes...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of disease control, expressed by the mean values of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), in the oral health of children and adolescents with diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A cross sectional study involving 87 children and adolescents (59 girls), 10 ± 2.6 years old. The participants were divided into three groups: HbA1c ≤ 8%, 8% < HbA1c ≤ 10% ...

Abstract Objective: It has been reported that adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a good marker for insulin function but its clinical significance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not yet characterized. This study aims to assess the association of ADA with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and uric acid (UA) in T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 120 subjects divi...
