BACKGROUND We developed a patient-centered, smartphone-based, diabetes care system (PSDCS). This study aims to test the feasibility of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction with the PSDCS. METHODS This study was a single-arm pilot study. The participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus were instructed to use the PSDCS, which integrates a Bluetooth-connected glucometer, digital food diary, a...

CONTEXT Control of plasma glucose could prevent the progression of most of the complications of diabetes and hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) is the most important criterion controlling these long-term complications. AIMS This study was performed to assess the effect of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and two- hour postprandial plasma glucose (2hpp) levels on HbA1c. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this descript...

Diabetes mellitus and hypertension frequently coexist. Formation of HbA1c and serum NO have recently documented as disease markers for diabetes and hypertension respectively. This study was aimed to find the correlation between HbA1c and NO anomalies in coexisted diabetes and hypertension. A total of 100 diabetic patients were selected and divided into diabetic normotensive and diabetic hyperte...

Partially purified hemoglobin A2 has been examined for the existence of glycosylated components by isoelectric focusing and by acid agar gel electrophoresis. Bands analogous to the glycohemoglobin derivatives of hemoglobin A, hemoglobin-A1.a.b.c, were readily detected. Evidence that these minor bands are in fact glycohemoglobins was obtained by showing that 14C-glucose bound to hemoglobin A2 mo...

With each new tool the insurance industry obtains to evaluate both states of health and states of disease, the temptation exists to use it in as many contexts as possible. The initial understanding in the mid-1960’s that diabetic individuals have different percentages of specific hemoglobins has led to the study and refinement of the hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc), which is being used increasingly by c...

Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases in the world. Vitamin E reduces protein glycation and improves insulin sensitivity, while cumin is effective in remission of diabetes. Therefore this study was designed to evaluate the effects of vitamin E and cumin essential oil, on the blood level of leptin,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and also on lipid profile in diabetic patients.In t...
