results according to the results there is a significant statistical difference between average numbers of models before and after educational intervention (p < 0.001). also hba1c and fbs after educational intervention were lower (p < 0001). conclusions applying the hbm model proved is very effective in developing an educational program for diabetics, to control their blood sugar. besides such p...

We investigated the effect of temperature, variant hemoglobins, and hyperlipidemia on determination of glycosylated hemoglobin by an electrophoretic method (Clin. Chem. 26: 1598-1602, 1980). We found that: (a) temperature variations ranging from 4 to 30 degrees C were without effect on results obtained by electrophoresis; (b) concurrent determination of glycosylated hemoglobin by electrophoresi...

Therefore, it was somewhat surprising to find a normal, rather than very above-normal, concentration of glycosylated hemoglobin associated with a highly negatively charged fast hemoglobin variant. This patient was heterozygous for a fast hemoglobin variant; the high proportion of the variant hemoglobin (50%) and the lack of an abnormal HbA2 by cellulose acetate electrophoresis suggest a mutatio...

objective: there are some studies about the good effects of herbal medicine on blood glucose. this study was designed to evaluate the synergism effect of peganum harmala (p.harmala), quercus infectoria (q.i), vaccinium myrtillus (v.myrtillus), citrullos colocynthis (c.colocynthis), securigera securidaca (s.s) on blood glucosein type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: twenty four type 2...

conclusions finally, based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that the awareness of mothers of t1dm children has a good impact on blood sugar control, whereas the ses of families has no direct effect on blood sugar control. additionally, ses can indirectly impact on the consciousness of mothers and lead to the reduction of hba1c. results mothers’ mean knowledge score was...

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...

BACKGROUND In persons with diabetes, chronic hyperglycemia (assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin level) is related to the development of microvascular disease; however, the relation of glycosylated hemoglobin to macrovascular disease is less clear. PURPOSE To conduct a meta-analysis of observational studies of the association between glycosylated hemoglobin and cardiovascular disease in diabet...

abstract background and objective: diabetes mellitus is one of complications that thalassemia major patients face with. hence, blood glucose monitoring is of vital importance to these patients. because of high level of fetal hemoglobin in these patients, the measurement of hemoglobin a1c is not reliable and should be displaced by fructosamine test. material and methods: the current descriptive ...

background: the aim of this study was to determine if glycosylated hemoglobin is elevated in patients with chronic periodontitis who have not been diagnosed with diabetes and also to compare the hba1c levels that were obtained with lab and chairside test kit. materials and methods: a case control study was designed. glycosylated hemoglobin (hba1c) was assessed using a chairside kit and laborato...
